Re: Calling all LS builders!

Do you know if they sell the rubber groments for the hold down bolts in the valve covers?[/QUOTE]

The rubber grommets are what I started this post about. I tried to install them the way Mongo described, it made the most sense but I had very bad luck doing it that way. The grommets kept breaking when I tried to push the bolt thru. The back half would tear off. I tried warming them in the oven to soften them up a bit, then dipped the bolts in oil before pushing them thru but nothing helped. Out of two sets, I tore at least 4 of them. I ended up installing the grommets on the bolts first then pushing them in the cover as much as I could then drawing them in by torquing down the bolts. I have no idea if they seated correctly on the backside or not.
