Yes there were rings. First install the intake and exhaust assembly with the rings and no gasket. Don't bolt it on just put it up against the block to make sure it mates flat with the block while the rings are installed. You check this because the block and exhaust manifold may have been resurfaced which makes the rings too thick and you can crack your exhaust manifold if they are. If it mates flush with rings and no gasket then you can reinstall with gasket. If the rings are too thick file them first.
