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.

would it be possible to go the a auto parts store and just buy an o-ring rather than having to order it thru mazdatrix? and if so does anyone know what size it is?

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.
