if nobody else can be more specific, you can probably slog through the chassis manual and find them:

OK, so I took my engine apart about 3 years ago and made a bunch of notes but I missed on this and cant figure out what these do now that I am doing the assembly. There are 4 of them and I was figuring some kind of spacer for the timing gear but they are loose on the camshaft snout and wont fit over the crankshaft snout so I am hoping somebody can tell me where these go and if they are really needed?
Thank you!

There are 4 rings that go into the intake ports on the head. These are the gaskets that slide on them. They are your intake gaskets.
I have the rings that register the intake to align it and the gasket kit came with fiber gaskets that cover both the intake and exhaust. I guess the metal rings go over the fiber gasket? Doesnt really seem needed.
Bruno is correct. You are also. Buick , and others also, designed the manifolds to bolt to the head without gaskets. These rings crushed to create a vacuum seal on the intake. With gaskets, they are not needed.

Ben is correct on all points.
Thank you so much guys! I had assembled the short block and was then noticing these and thought "uh-oh" but now I feel much better!
