The cover from TR comes with a new gasket which is around 47 bucks, button cap hex bolts, and the hose.

Flinging abrasives every which-a-way with my engine open is on my Top 5 Things I'll Never Do list. I'd rather have my ***** flattened with a wood mallet.

And before anybody jumps on to tell me how misguided I am, don't bother. Your engine, your call. This one's mine and it ain't gonna happen.

This is how mine is setup on my LS2, but its the same as the LS1/6 with the LS6 valley cover. For a LS1 you just need to block off the rear fittings.
The LS2 valley cover is different than the LS6 cover...

the LS2 cover does not have the holes for the knock sensors, as both your pics show... compare with pics in posts #41, #51.

this matters if installing on an LS1.
