The intake gasket has little metal squares covering the coolant jackets, and they ripped off my gasket while removing it. What are these? I think there were 2 or 3 of em. And will they come with the new gasket set once I purchase?
Thanks!!
 
Coolant restrictors. Coolant crossover in the rear is reduced so that with the heater on coolant has t flow through the large passage under the manifold from front to back...heating the plenum.
 
Oh gotcha, thanks!
So they will come with the new set of gaskets
when I purchase them, right?
 
Almost guaranteed they'll be in the gasket set. I'd be stunned if they weren't. Just buy a quality brand like Fel Pro or Victor Reinz and you'll be fine.
