Hello, I am a newbie here. I know this is a longshot but here goes.

In the process of replacing the head gasket on a D17A2 (in a 2005 Acura EL), I was manipulating about the intake manifold to gain access to the three nuts holding the EGR manifold spacer in place. Two plastic washers, thick enough to be spacers, fell off from the top. I would guess one from the left, one from the right. There could be more. I found two. About the circumference as a nickel, and about the thickness of 4 or 5 nickels stacked (5.16"). Not threaded.

The Intake Manifold remains attached to the throttle cables under the hood.







Can anyone please tell me where they belong?
