Default Steam vent o rings

Does anyone know the size or where I can find replacement o rings for the steam vents where they go into the cylinder heads. I searched and all I found were the dorman ones that are like little metal gaskets with the o ring molded into them

Those are the right parts for these heads. Also NAPA carries them, just under their own part number. They look like soda pop tabs, and they should come 4 in a pack.

Ok thought I just needed the single o rings that's what was on when I pulled them off. I'll stop and grab those then. Thanks

Guess you aren't like me. I have so many spare parts like that, I never run out.

FWIW, there are two versions. The old one is the metal tab and the newer style is a simple o-ring. It does matter which ports you have.
