Default Powder Coated Valve Covers

Just wanted to show some work that I have done on my LS1 project.

I got the valve covers powder coated candy red metallic and I also installed a CTSV oil pan. Still tons to do but just wanted to show the progress.

Quick question: Does anyone know where I can order the rubber inlet on the driver side valve cover? When I removed it from the valve cover it got wrecked. If anyone has a part number that would be great.

Thanks

You can try the dealer, I can't see a big chain parts store carrying something like that but I may be wrong.

It's 10x faster, cheaper, and more convinient to get a freeze plug from an autoparts store.

Personally, I used valvecovers off a truck so that hole wasn't even there to begin with.

Just wanted to update people. Part # 12557672 is no longer available from the dealer. I found a plug button at the local auto store for $1.49.
