Intake Gasket Im gonna do the intake gaskets since theyre leaking again.
Do the Vortec style gaskets with the silicone around each intake port work on the LT1? Or is there another part# for LT1s? What does everyone else use?

where is your intake leaking from. If it is leaking from the rear theres a good chance your egr piping to the back of the manifold is heating up the rtv along the back and causing it to leak. The LT1's had a commonly occuring problem with this, I had it myself. Quickest thing to do is wrap the egr pipe with heat resistant wrap or tape. Or if you want to go all out, cut off the piping weld the holes closed on your headers or manifolds and get a block off kit. just my .02 cents.
