i went to the dealer to get head gaskets and all the goodies to go back stock when i went to knock the front engine seal in i could push it in by hand which you usually have to knock it in with a 2x4 or something so i knew something was weird they gave me the AC delco part number12585673
is this correct, did they change it or give me the wrong part number cuz i thought the correct part number was 12561244

 

GM changed the seal around a year or so ago. I use some black GM silicone sealer around the outside edge before I install them in the cover. You are right about how easy they push in and out now.

 

ttt anybody else

 

Yea, I made it all up. Go to gmpartsdirect and enter the old number and see wtf it changes to when you add it to your basket.

 

dude i wasnt doubting you just double checkin i dont want to have to pull this **** apart again
