I had to order mine separate. Put me back almost a week for the install once I figured out I couldn't squish the near new fel-pros that came off my LS6 intake.

Yeah the stock gaskets will work on a 92. Just have to be imaginative.

My very newish Fel-Pros swelled up as soon as I pulled them out of the LS6 intake. No way they could be squished into the Fast92.

+1. Total bs. You would think a $850+ intake would come with freakin $25 gaskets. Poor if you ask me.

If you purchased a new intake and it didn't come with valley cover bolts as well as the mounting bolts, you should have called the vendor you purchased from and had them get you some! You paid for those. If you bought a used or 2nd hand intake though, that's another story.

I have had that problem with their valve cover gaskets. Good to know so I don't accidently remove one if the intake is ever off.

^^^ you could probably toss them in the freezer for 10-20 mins and they would shrink back down.
