Hi Gary,
That's your timing chain tensioner gaskets. I think they are the upper
ones. Check out

from my web page:

I copied an old gasket by stenciling it on a sheet of gasket material. You
can buy a package of various thicknesses and material types for under $10,
and make your own gaskets.
So if ever you accidentally drop one into your oil pan, you can easily make
another! Just don't drop the tensioner itself into the oil pan, that
creates real problems! (And not just because it's hard to make a copy.)
