      Help! Timing belt broke, fixed head, now 4 o-rings that I can't find where they go

      I'm working on an '06 Aveo that a friend of mine picked up with a broken timing belt. So I pulled the head off and sent it to the machine shop to have the valve guides replaced (all 16 were broken). The problem is, the machinist (his buddy) went on vacation for 3 weeks. So here it is, almost a month later, and I'm trying to remember how to put it back together. The biggest issue is, I have 4 o-rings, about 1/2" OD, that I can't for the life of me remember where they came from or find a home for. Can anyone help?

      EDIT: The injector rail was never removed from the intake manifold, so they're not from injectors.

      Another edit: I actually have 6 of the old o-rings, and the head gasket set came with 14 new ones. I don't think they came out of the top of the valve cover, because there are o-rings there already. I cannot find them anywhere in the GM Service manual, either.

      When you said 4 i thought on the spark plug galleys under the valve cover. but now that there is 14.

      did your gasket set come with a list? anymore they don't seem to. I would guess and say they are for the intake stuff that you probably didn't remove.

      I suspect the 6 that I found were removed from the stuff I (or the previous owner) did take apart, and there are 8 more new ones for other stuff I didn't remove, like EGR and water passages and such from the intake manifold. The set also has 8 more smaller and fatter o-rings, I suspect these are for the injectors. The spark plug galleys don't have o-rings, their seals are part of the valve cover gasket. These are also too small for that, they're only about 1/2"/13mm OD and probably 10 or 11mm ID, most spark plugs are an M14 thread and take either a 5/8" or 13/16" socket.

      I'm looking at an exploded view on the only things i can figure it might be is the MAP sensor looks to have o-rings and the manual for some reason has you take it out to remove the manifold. Also one of the designs of the pcv system looks like it might have orings.

      might be those.

      Sorry, I should have also mentioned that at least 2 of them have thread marks, so they definitely went on somewhere bolted. I also didn't remove the MAP or PCV valve.
