I need the two half circle parts that help seal the valve cover. The machine shop that rebuilt my head threw them away and it did not come with my gasket kit that I bought for the pulsar. I need it as soon as possible. Thanks for your help.

that's a pretty standard part.
You can get them at autozone/pepboys wherever. At the dealer, they come in a kit iirc.
KAs use them too

On KA's, they come as a part of the valve cover gasket. On CA's, they are a separate piece. I was thinking of chopping up a KA valve cover gasket to make one but I'm not sure if it will fit. I'll find out tomorrow when I do it.

What would I ask for at the local auto parts store?

KA-Es have them seperately at least.
I know they're not hard to find.
Maybe 'half-moon' gasket?

Yeah, a guy on nico gave us a felpro part number. We're hoping to find one in stock tomorrow so we can finish this headgasket swap and get this thing back on the street and back to the track. Thanks.
