Don't know what these are

VTX1800N1

VCT valve body gaskets. They go on the front of each head.

So I have to take the cams off

I would take the cams out any way to check for any scoring. Are you doing a total rebuild or just timing components, if you bought a timing kit, I have seen those gaskets come with it. If you do take the cams out, make sure that you mark them with something like a paint marker (I used my wife's nail polish) on some of the caps and other parts of the cams to line them back up, and use vice grips on a non-journal part to hold the cams in place for when u tighten the caps. When u take the VCT housings off, there is a screen in there that has tends to get clogged up, make sure that you clean that. Is the engine out of the vehicle?

Sorry, didn't look at the rest of the pic, it looks like the engine is pulled out of the vehicle in the background. Good luck.

Yes, a whole rebuild. I took the cams out already to do valve seals, so I was kinda bummed I had to take them off again. But I got them on. Thanks a bunch.
