do the VR gasket sets come with front and rear main gaskets?

I have a kit that I think is new
I've been trying to see what it may be missing or is it complete?
and I don't see front and rear main gaskets...

but don't see anything else missing and not sure the kits even come with the main gaskets?



I'm cleaning out the garage and intend to sell a lot of junk in the near future
but definitely do no want to mis-represent, so would love informed opinion about whether or not this is a complete gasket set.

TIA
brant

My gasket kit did not come with front or rear main seals. It came with one oil pump cover gasket, as does yours, when it appears that the oil pump housing on my engine has another paper gasket between it and the case which was not provided.

Not to high jack this thread, but what are the eight white ribbed plastic sleeve-like things that are shown in the plastic bags in the first couple of photos. My gasket kit also has them, but I haven't seen anything like them in/on my motor.
