Those are the washers for the head bolts.

Yup! Man, if I had a nickel for every time I found those just shoved in some other location by an ignorant owner/mechanic.... well, I'd have about $.50 but nonetheless that's $.50 too much.

OMFG WOW lol i did not even think this kid before me got this far in effing up my car. unplugged sensors, cut wires and bad wiring, removing the brackets to remove the engine (real pain getting it out the way i did) you think that made a different in performance??

Jeez! I wonder if there was enough clamp-up to stop the head from warping , may be a good idea to check it out on a surface table ( or a plate of supported thick glass as a quick check ) .Also check for corrosion pitting at the gasket face and valve /seat faces /carbonised oil seals . Jelly paint stripper is good for softening carbon on metal ,--keep away from plastics ,-it eats that! -- : apply by brush , leave for a while and then wash off with water and dry , protect your hands and face especially your eyes! - at ALL times .
