Default 1999 jaguar xj8 4.0 motor gasket set location chart

Hi all:
AM back working on my 1999 Jag again. Got a complete gasket set for the engine and some of those little gasket / "O" rings I am not sure where they go. Example is the fuel injectors has a small and a larger O ring on each one of them. Do I replace them and are they included in the engine gasket set? There is like a hundred or so gaskets and I am not sure which ones goes where.
Thank you all for your help and I value each of you in the process of learning this style of motor.
I hope to having my green beauty running soon and posting pics of her, then when funds allow I will plan on buying an XJS or XK model

Please provide something like the engine gasket set - part number (also an illustration or some kind of image showing each of the gaskets in the package).

That will put us on a path to figure out what gaskets go where.

Got most of them figured out the smaller ones in the above pic are the ones I cant figure out. Hope the pic works as I have problems attaching pics. The small ones comes in a couple of little bags. Got the heads figured out and the larger gaskets, just the small ones are the ones I need help with. Thanks All

I created this jpeg file to show information on the small o ring gaskets -- the 48 valve cover isolators:

In 2006 we had an extended gold warranty and our leaking valve covers (cam covers) repair was covered by it.

Our local Jaguar dealer did the repair. The warranty company covered all of the repair ($449.35) except for the 28 Isolators for the valve covers.

We had to pay $83.21 for the Isolators that the insurance refused to include in their payment.

Here is a pdf file that was created from the JTIS on installing LH & RH valve covers:

It has all of the torque tightening specs and sequence.
