    hm thats wierd about my PM's.. the reason I called is because I was just wondering if you had taken the valve covers/front timing cover off for a reason. It was just odd that they were lossely on their, and that I needed to put gaskets on those.

    Also, what year intake manifold did you give me? It seems to only have one fuel line, and I have two coming off of my truck.

    Ducky I have an intake manifold off of a 04 6.0 which has two fuel line connection comming off of the drived side fuel rail...i believe this would make it a fuel return system....you can have it if you want it...it will need a through cleaning since it came off of a flood vehicle.....if this will help you out let me know

    heck, its been so long im not even sure why i had the front cover off. if memmory serves right thats the cover that i took off of the Ls1 so i could use my newer cover becaues i was 100% that my gasket was fine...im 95% sure that the gasket on that cover is fine too. i wouldnt wory about it. i didnt even realize that it was a returnless fuel rail on the intake. sounds like gator has the hookup though

    Ducky, make sure you put your crank pulley on before you tighten the front cover.

    Yeah there actually wasnt a gasket at all on the front, but its no worries I replaced those and the valve covers anyway

    Yeah the crank pulley was on, I actually meant the back cover was off of the engine.

    The intake I have is brand new, I wonder if I could like switch it out at the dealership for another one. I doubt they will let me do that. But that 04 intake you have, how bad of a shape is it in? Also my engine is an 01, so wouldnt I need to take the throttle body off the 01 and put it on the 04?

    Ducky man i don't know, it looks good but who knows? It would probably cost you $20 to $25 to get it there...u might be able to find one in a junk yard localy for the same price.....

    I'm probably gonna end up going and finding one at a junkyard. I would really like to wrap this up by the end of the weekend, but who knows.

    You know the rear cover has to be centered on the crank or the rear flange will burn through the seal and spew oil into your bellhousing.

    We tightened it like the book said. But I mean isnt it only going to sit one way since there is like 10 or so bolts that basically will center it up to the rear of the engine?
