I have yellow o rings on my WP? Arent they suppose to be blue?

I just ordered the WP/Opti combo with alot of new gaskets. First of all, i dont know what ones i will have to use, if any.

* Doesnt the Wp need blue orings? I already have 3 extra of the ones that break easy, but the wp has a yellow single oring on it already. I thought the wp needed blue ones? Did the color change to yellow?

* the opti has a green seal on teh back of it. I know i need to put the yellow oring on this, but how many of 'em?

here is a list of the parts I ordered and the quantity:
10217886 (3) , 12553792 (2) <-- isnt this suppose to be blue, they are yellow?, 10128343 (2), 10128317 (1), opti, and WP of course.

I thought they were blue, too. If they came on there, I would not worry about it.

The opti drive has 2 slots that take the o-rings.

So how many o rings does the WP need? just one? only one yellow one is on there, the one it came with

And on the opti i see no slots for the rings? I am really sorry for the numbness but i must get this all correct before i go do this. Are they suppose to be similar to grooves?

I think my problem is that i may be missing a part on the opti? I do not have this black thing that has the three circles in it in this pic:http://shbox.com/1/opti_back.jpg Is this the front of the timing cover or the back of the opti?

Sorry, I overlooked that you had a 1994, since you were talking about opti o-rings. A 1994 does not have any (that I know of).
