What's the name of this gasket?
Hey guys/gals
First what is the name of this gasket that circled in red? Second where can I buy just that gasket? I am getting ready to put my head back together after a port/polish job, 3 angle valve grind, updated w/pump new belts and other misc. parts, I purchased a head gasket set but this gasket either was not included or I have misplaced it! I am not sure where to find this one... Thanks Rob Off topic question: What is the best car care product to remove swirl marks from black paint?

Some time ago when I replaced the head on my 951, I installed the parts you have circled in red and did not place close enough attention. The two bolts are of different lengths on my engine because the longer bolt also holds a bracket that holds some piping. The head rebuilder said I did not have to reinstall the bracket. But when I put the bolts in I did not realize that the longer one bottomed. Of course when I filled the engine with coolant, it leaked.
Until that point in time I had never removed a head. So you can imagine the feelings of trepidation I had when the thing leaked - I thought I had cracked the head or something.

I use either 3M or Mequire Glaze polish to remove swirl marks.
