Default Valley Cover O Rings Link

http://www.tickperformance.com/produ...%252dRing.html

I found this the other day, I'm not sure how legit it is, but it is the only place that I've found that sells them, for a killer 5 bucks an O ring at that.

Has anyone else had any luck with finding O rings or is everyone still tapping the towers for block off screws?

I'd rather pay $0.15 each for set screws! Either that or buy one o-ring, take it to a hardware store, and match up the 7 for $1.75 total... WTF is GM thinking!

I really do not want to go the drill and tap route, no matter how clean it's done there may be metal shavings left behind. I'm not gonna risk that on a fresh shortblock.

I have the valley cover off and am planning on taking it by the hardware store to match something up. But that link is plan B for me, and those greedy bastards know it.
