Default Got my heads ported and polished and..
Well as title says.. I got my heads ported and polished, and when I got them back, I got two strange hollow metal cylinder pieces back. Can anyone tell me what the heck these are?? Go figure it won't let me upload an image of it, so the closest thing I can compare them to are the top half of a factory hat style valve guide seal..

Upload them to imageshack and post here. They don't host images on the forum servers.

Used during installation so the heads don't slip off the block.

Used for holding the head and I presume head to block alignment also. Use them.
