GM only source for crossover tube seals

Does felpro or anyone else make the seals for the crossover tube on the back of the heads? I would rather not have to deal with the long wait for GM parts from the dealer.

You can go to AutoZone or Advance and look in the help line of parts. They carry a bunch of diffirent a/c and oil drain plug seals pick up some of them works well cheaper too.

Try NAPA part number 730-2922. Should be a packet of seals to do your steam lines.

I just got some from TPIS today when I picked up a few other things. They were $20 for all 4 I think?

I recently ordered the steam crossover tube and had some come with that. I think they are 5 dollars by themselves from gmpartsdirect, so that sounds right.

I broke down and bought the bolts for 10 a piece shipped from the parts department at the Chevrolet Dealership. The "crush washers" as they are called i got from napa for about $3 each.

I bought a pair from the Chevy dealer here in town. I think they were around $10 for the pair.

You need 4, not 2. I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to stuff like this, so I got all 4 from gmpartsdirect for $30. But I've heard the NAPA ones work just as well.
