Ls2 dod delete
Ls2 dod delete Correct me if I'm wrong, LS2 does not have dod. But the towers are there. Do I need the valley cover with o-rings, or can I just get the flat, low profile? I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I get sick of looking... thanks!
The hole in the top of that tower goes directly to the lifter bore. If your bottom end is assembled, it’s too late to thread the towers. Just use an o-ringed cover. You’ll be fine.

Some LS2 oil pans do have the DOD valve in them. (At least some GTO LS2 pans do.). Even if the rest of the DOD components aren't there in the rest of the engine that valve can cause high RPM oil pressure problems. Check the pan and if it has a DOD valve, remove it and plug the opening.

Sorry, I don't have a picture to share showing the exact location.
BUT, if it is a 2005 LS2 I doubt it would have the DOD valve in the pan. Some late 2006's do and GM replacement part LS2 oil pans typically do.
