I'm finishing dressing up the long block Blueprint Engines 306 crate engine that I got from Summit. It's a nice engine and came with a dyno test print out that showed 397 hp max at 6000 rpm and a nice broad torque plateau above 350 ftlbs from 3300 - 5900 rpm.
I installed an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold with a matching set of Edelbrock manifold gaskets. I followed the assembly instuctions using gasket dope and RTV sealant as instructed. This morning while cleaning off my work bench I saw some small gasket pieces inside the package the set came in. I assumed they were pieces from the cut out openings, but on closer inspection I'm thinking maybe they weren't.

Does anyone know what these might have been for? Being my first build at this level I am always nervous when I have parts left over.
Thanks,
