Default Which water outlet (coolant bypass) gasket and knock sensor?

I'm finding 2 different part numbers for my coolant bypass pipe and my knock sensor on my 97 LS.

Not sure which one it is. Sewell Lexus shows 2 part number for the gaskets and says you need 2 (of each?) (1634150020 and 1634150010) and then there's 2 part numbers for the knock sensors: 8961550010 and 8961512040

Gaskets:

Are both sides the same or is there a left and right gasket?

I know this is what the one on the Driver side looks like:



Is this one for the passenger or is it the same?

Because they have 2 part numbers for both items... So I don't know what it actually needs. My car is under 97-00 and then 95-97.

Yeah i'm waiting on Sewell to chime in tomorrow. I forgot if the gasket is the same exact on both sides of the bypass or not.

all you have to do is give them your VIN # or date of production, and they well sell you the right one.
