Valve Cover "Rubber"

Folks,
What is the purpose of the rubber "bar" held within the valve cover? It appears to rest/rub on the rocker.

When I dismantled the bike, one of the rubber bars had a notch cut into it. I don't remember if it was intake or exhaust. I've since lost, and now purchased a new rubber piece. The new piece does not have the notch.

Do all bikes have the notch?

What is the purpose of the notch?

Thanks,
Mike
