My intake gasket is supplied with these metal inserts. I assume these are for restricting the exhaust crossover port in the head. Do you guys leave this port open, closed or restricted?

Leave them out. They are for the heavy duty trucks.

Put them in !!! You need may need some heat up there but not that much, some block them off altogether for cooler intake, I think the restrictor is a happy medium betweeen blocked off and wide open. What intake are you running ? JMHO.
