I never thought the gasket would be with the part - maybe if we could read Japanese we would have seen that !

Do you have a specific reason for going away from ethylene glycol based coolant? I presume the waterless stuff you're referring to is propylene glycol, that's the usual base?

I looked through the exploded view diagrams and didn't see one. Presumably it would look pretty similar to the one for an EA11R...does it?

Using the Index system on the left, open up the drop-down "Parts Listings" under "Engine", and there it is. If you can't see the Index system, try another browser.
It looks quite different. The 11R seems to be gear-driven, whereas the 21R is belt-driven.
