Are you missing these entirely or have you got leakers?
Just asking as they are not cheap nor are new gaskets guaranteed to stop the leak. Most snetters including me have removed the originals, degreased all parts and refitted with a liberal dose of RTV sealant. Works every time, darn site cheaper and takes about an hour a side.
Of course some of the snootier peeps with loads of dosh regard this as a bodge......
Or try these, check your engine codes first tho

2 to 3 hours work with a tube of RTV then, don't even have to remove the plugs.
Just remember not to overtighen the bolts, they shear dead easy. They have a shouldered head so you will not sort the leak by trying to tighten them up. By all means check that you havn't got any loose ones first tho.
Torque loading is 3.6 plus or minus 0.7 lb/ft (or just nip em up, don't graunch em)
Good luck and welcome to the world of Scooby maintenance, this is just the beginning
