seal ID help

Can't figure out where these two "sleeves" go. Came in my gasket kit for '70 2.2e. About 1"long, tapered one end, material like plastic drinking straws.
Never came across these on disassembly.
Thanks http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/two sleeves.jpg

They slide over the valve stem to protect the valve stemseal during fitting. Without using those, the seal might be damaged by the slots in the valve stem

Correct - typically these little 'kitty condoms' are used by the machine shop when they reassemble the heads, so you don't typically use them...

Thanks guys, "kitty condoms" lol good.
Maybe more like something to be seen at Mickey Mouse's playhouse....but we digress, back to work.
