Maybe for the bolt holes between faces?

They look like valve stem oil seals to me.
Hope this helps.

Not to do with spray bar, this fits with no seals/gaskets, Not valve stem oil seals, and not to go between any gasket faces.
Tho only one that I can think of is replacement oil seal washers for the two front angled face rocker cover bolts (you know the ones that go into the
cam bearing post).
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

If its the EFI head then you should have the wide gasket and rocker cover. These rocker covers should have their own set of bolts and special load
spreading washers and again the ones for the two front holes will have an oil seal in them. But these later types of bolts and load spreading washers
are not serviced with any head gasket set that I have seen.
Hope this helps.
