Those two pieces are stock on all LA SB Mopars I've worked on, they go in the cap to seal the main cap mating surface to the block Don't throw them away

The Mopar B and RB share the same rear main seal as the Slant-6 and the part in question is for the Slant-6 application retainer seal. Curious as to what brand rear seal that is and where you got it?

There is a new Fel Pro seal that I got that has a more rigid side seal BS 40240.I have yet to install mine but I think it will be better.

They were in a Fel Pro rear seal kit that I bought about 3 months ago for my Hemi, and yes they went in the garbage can.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
