Mystery seals
After unpacking my Pontiac gasket/seal kit, I see a few bags of seals that do not look familiar. Can anybody shed some light on where these go and their purpose? I suspect some or all of these are head/valve related, and as I have ordered a new set of (complete) KRE heads from SD Performance, I likely won't need them- but I'd like to know what they are and where they go.
Any help? # 1  #2  # 3  # 4

1st 2 pics aren't seals.
They go in the intake/oil pan gaskets to hold them in place. The 3rd is for the 2nd groove on valves. (if they have them) The last is the valve stem seals.

Thanks for the reply. I will be using the BOP one piece pan gasket, I'm guessing the pan gasket "fittings" (pic # 2) would not be used? Also, on the intake side Dave at SD is port matching a Torker II to the KRE heads, and is supplying the intake gaskets for this as well. Would the "fittings" (pic # 1) be used on these aftermarket gaskets or are they just for stock gaskets?

Those are for stock gaskets. I don't believe the KRE heads are countersunk for them. The orange ones just hold the gasket in place.
The blue one's for oil pan, I never use them as they are designed to hold the gasket to the oil pan. I install the gasket to the block, then bolt on the pan. The o-ring valve seals won't be needed as the after market valves don't have a groove for them. The positive valve seals won't be needed either as you heads should have better seals on them already.
