Oil Pan Rails Needed?

Do I need to reuse the silver metal oil pan rails that go under all of the oil pan bolts? I accidently left these off and already installed all of my bolts. The engine is however still out of the car so I can install them if I have to. Thanks, Brad

i dont know what would happen if left off but it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and put them on. they are there to help distribute the pressure fom the bolts so the seal will be better.
