Coolant crossover O-Rings???
 
Is there a cheaper alternative than paying $6.00 a piece for the seals that go under the coolant crossover and rear coolant block off plates. Thats really ridiculous that GM would charge that much for something you can barely see with the naked eye. Does dorman have a cross reference or anything? I have the later style not the gasket type

dorman does sell those gaskets.......or you can get the LS6 style crossovers which have a built in O ring

Yeah i have the LS6 style crossover. Witht the two block offs on the back. They are the oring type. Can you use dorman gaskets on these or no?

Didn't know that...I spent the $6 each for them during my head/cam swap and was pretty pissed about it.

+1. Back when I ordered my parts the guy I spoke to said gaskets aren't needed for the LS6 crossover and block-offs. I didn't put any on and have had no issues for the past few years.

Mine had em....

i think the OLD style LS6 had gaskets........newer has O rings
