Hello Ty,

    Those are heat disks. If you look close at the center, there is a solder
section that will melt out at a certain temperature. That temp should be
stamped on the disk. In other words, if the plug melts out, you have
overheated the engine, for what ever reason.
    So do not remove them, or let the engine over heat!
