tappet/push rod cover?
I was going to replace my tappet cover gasket and I just wanted to verify. The napa in town said it was a push rod cover gasket. Is this the same gasket? Thank you for any responses.

The gasket is actually a large rubber O ring that fits in a groove in the cover. If Napa doesn't have the right one, you'll need to get it from Cummins or a truck dealer like Freightliner.

I went to NAPA for a peek. Looks like a side cover gasket. NAPA Item#: FPGPS50397R. Here's a link (if it works):

Well I picked the gasket up this morning and it is the correct one, just like the image that you sent with your reply. Thanks guys, hopefully it goes well pulling the injection pump!
