depending on your current gaskets, you might not need them. I still went ahead and ordered them though, cus its rubber, and it doesnt last forever. Figured might aswell since youre there already. Plus if you can afford the wait, gmpartsdirect has them cheaper.

I only ordered the rear ones though. I figured if the front ones leaked, i could replace them a whole lot easier without removing the intake again.

It is all short block I'm building in process. But I need to know that kind of gasket plate do we need it. But since the steam port already have o ring in there. I wasn't sure if it need add gasket plate for that? Also the bolts size m6 x 1.0 x 30mm right? I plan to buy a stainless bolts as well.

The older style plugs require the gasket style plate and you have the newer style that are grooved for and require o rings that you can order from GM also.
