Do I need gaskets for these?

When I took off my intake manifold I think there was gaskets here (area circled in red) but can't recall for sure. Any way I need to know if I need to gaskets and if so what are they called. Thanks in advance.Do I need gaskets for these?-cimg2792.jpg

Not gaskets, o-rings. Mazdatrix has them.

mmm, not sure auto stores orings would hold to the temp and pressure
i wouldnt risk it!
the rx7s life is pretty well dependent on the coolant
pop that, over-heat, warp, dead motor
auto stores get the things the cheapest they can, and sell it for as much as they can
mazdatrix stuff is 100% as far as im concerned!

Cool deal thanks guys would it make a difference that it is a J-spec motor. Also I just found the old one's and they don't really fit. They are to big.
