Default Need help with knock sensor part, I think.

Ok, I am tearing down my 5.3 for a rebuild. I took out the knock sensors, unbolted the valley cover and had a bit of trouble pulling off the valley cover. I was carefully but not carefully enough I guess because I tore one of the valley cover oil seals? I'm not sure what the part is called but it's the rubber seal that's on the bottom of the valley cover where the knock sensor bolts above. I have been searching online to find replacements but not sure if it's called the valley cover oil seal. Found just little bits of info but no pics to see if it's the right part. Can those seals be purchased? Any part number? Thanks for the help guys.

John

I would call a gm dealer and try and find out if they can get it, they can pretty much tell you everything even the size of bolts.
