LS1 Bros, lol
Hey, anyone know where I can get a set of 'LS1 Valve cover bolts' with the grommets?
Just went to change my gaskets and all but two grommets are all broken dam it... now Im stuck..
Holden in doncaster vic dont have em, plus they wanted $18.95 each..to order in. WTF!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
Brad
By memory they're just a rubber impregnated washer! Can easily make a set with a small sheet of rubber & a wad punch, reckon you could do the whole job under $18 bucks period!!
Shouldn't leak out of the bolts anyway, have reused broken ones plenty of times
Pretty sure ARP do them, would be about $30-40 a set of bolts and grommets, otherwise get the Fel-Pro ones

Local speed shop should have them?
I believe you can get the GM ones on their own from the states, just not locally
Yep they seal on the angled part not on the retainer knobs on the ends..
That's right I'd be more concerned what could weep or be sucked in!Quote:

If your concerned do that & order a new set from the states with a few other bits & pieces to make the transaction worthwhile! e.g Box of oil filters, plugs & leads...
The Knob is just so your hand doesn't slip off .... hang on wait a sec it's so they're retained in the covers for assembly it serves 0 purpose after that ;)
I have a bunch with it missing totally and no leaks.
LOL . well i dont want the rest to fall off... I guess ill remove them all... and leave the top bit :)
Dam it lol, They are to old, dry... pulled one off and it just cracked.... Ehhhhhhhhhhh
Now where in Vic.....can I get these?
