Seals I believe no but the base gasket orings as far as I know will be there

Seals almost always gotta be purchased separately. Cruzinimage on eBay (the 836 guy) has them for a good price. They worked well for me. I used NE brand gasket set and I liked it. Had the rubber pucks too

Seals are not included in the kits.

Search ebay or check around the big sohc4 parts sites. I got mine from ebay.
