Intake Water O-rings

Where do those go? With my new intake gasket on, I don't see where these would go.

I want to put them on, because I bought them, but I just am not seeing where to put them.

Thanks.

Oh, on the racing beat site, it says they go between the intake and the engine.

Mine looks like that, except those passages go no where on my car, and nothing with coolant runs to it.

Thanks for the information guys. RB says on their site that all RX-7's need them. So, I bought 2.... doh! another waste of money.
