16 of them, these "crush washers" are washers for the valve covers gaskets.

The "S" type gaskets are intake end seals. The EngineTech set is curtious enough to note that they are not included, and to use HiTemp rtv instead.

You do use the washers. They are "compression limiters" also called "torque limiters" . Their purpose is to allow for gasket re-use, by preventing over tightening /overcompressing. Other gaskets have them built in. As for the "S"/intake end seals, I assume using those should be easier than attempting to build up the right amount of RTV without making a mess when mating the lower intake to the engine. I have rebuilt only 1 of these so advice from experience is limited.
