The only thing I can think of is they are to replace the cam cap bolt sleeves, but they look a lot different and bigger. I didn't even try them. I gotta say that the kit I bought from Mike was insanely complete. I highly recommend buying from him as always.

Here's more lol. Pulled the fuel pump relay and jumped the socket with a wire and connected a long piece of fuel line to the fp gauge to empty out the bad gas.

Easier way is to just pull the fuel pump fuse out of the fuse box and jump one side to a spot that is 12v all the time. I actually have a switch hooked up to it already so I can pump out my tank any time I want. lol

It sat for several months.
So I got it all back together last night and my trickle charger broke. So I pulled the lil evo battery out and brought it over to the a4. Lots of sparks and smoke lol. Cables were super hot. Weird part is the electronics worked fine earlier when the trickle was working. But nothing would turn on when I tried to jump off the evo's batt. Just charged my jumper pack. Gonna give it a try now.
