Silly Question... are the exhaust gaskets in this set?

Hi all... the below gasket set came with my bike. Are the two rounded copper gaskets in this set the exhaust compression gaskets? They fit perfectly but just want to be sure!

Thanks in advance!

Yep, that's them. The glare on the plastic packaging makes it hard to be sure, but did you get new grommets for the valve cover bolts? If not, you'll want to order them and install them on the bolts before using the new valve cover gasket. The bolt grommets get crushed and it reduces the amount of pressure applied to the valve cover gasket which can allow both the bolt grommets and the valve cover to leak. And be careful withg the valve cover bolts, they're shouldered and will snap off if you overtighten them.

No gasket sets come with the valve cover grommets unfortunately.
