There is a rubber o-ring gasket built into each end of the coolant pipes. When you tighten the bolt down, it pushes the rubber o-ring into the hole in the block, sealing them together.

Its a little thin washer with two holes in it. one hole for the bolt, and one with a o-ring as stated for the water passage.

does anybody know the gm part number for the gaskets? I am deployed right now and i cant find them, i did search with no results. i've reused mine a few too many times for me to be risk using them again and leaking coolant on my pretty new motor.

if your deployed why bother? seems pretty pointless to buy a bunch of **** while your gone, so it can sit and get lost or ruined.
