Need help....LS6 intake install question Hi,
I swapped out my ls1 intake for a ls6. I followed the instructions on ls how to and purchased the two coolant plugs and crossover tube as suggested.
When I removed the old coolant line I noticed these two small metal gaskets underneath the rear lines but not on the front ones. The install guide said nothing about these and the front ones were not there.
I installed everything with out the back to as the plugs had a rubber oring piece built in on them.
It runs and I don't see any leaks, but after reading on TR's website it lists the part number with (4 required)..................20-12551933 GM LS1 Coolant Seal (4 required)
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Neil

Just wondering...Im about to do this same swap on my LS6. Am i correct thinking I do not use the rear cross tubes and use the plugs to plug off the holes and only use the front cross over tube onle?
