    Ok I am confused on what to use I guess for the bolts.

    I went to autozone today and ordered all my parts. The guy told me I need new grommets for when I replace my valve cover gasket. Said they only come in a pack of 4 so I need 2 packs at $10 a pack. are these needed to replace the gasket on my valve cover?

    actually it takes 3 packs. 5 or 6 per side.
    and the lim gasket will flatten out when the motor heats up, so you need to retoque it. if you use loctite, then your just locking the bolts where they were after the first torque.

    the grommets should come in a complete pack of 12.

    FEL-PRO Part # ES72833

    Fuel injector O-rings come in 4's.

    FEL-PRO Part # ES71192 Set
    Upper set; Injectors to fuel rail

    FEL-PRO Part # ES71190 Set
    Lower set; Injectors to cylinder head

    You need two of both "sets" of the fuel injector o-rings.

    use loctite if you want, but i would start the engine immediately after the first torque, let it run for 20 minutes, then retorque everything before the loctite sets,
    and for Mary, mother of jesus, DONT USE RED LOCTITE!

    You're supposed to put thread sealant on the bolts.

    nothing else.

    If you look at the bolts, some of them may still have some on them.

    You don't use loctite on LIM bolts...you use PFTE thread sealant.

    ok thanks guys for your responses. I found out antisseeze can be used. However GM uses a highh heat teflon paste. Only ones that would need it would be the bolts that go into a water jacket. But I am going to put it on them all. I figured for $5 for the paste was worth doing it right rather then having to re do it in the future.
    The guy at autozone was stupid. The pic had 4 grommets in the pack so he thought there was only 4 in A pack, but it had 12.

    Ok for anyone who would know, or works at autozone. Does the felpro ms 98014 t lim gasket set include the es 71190 upper fuel in jector o rings? Cuz I got six o rings and it doesn't say what they are for.
    The description on the box says
    Intake manifold
    Intakemanifold - end seal
    Water outlet
    Water outlet
    Oil filter adapter. What is this for??
    Rtv black-tube
    Heater inlet . Is this the thermostat gasket?
    Map sensor o ring
    But it doesn't say any thing about the 6 o rings I got with it is.
    Thanks

    my super sport heads are awesome, thanks for asking. my 4.10 bonneville gear ratio is sweet as well, along with my 302 pontiac motor, and my factory L67 cutlass supreme. and my 05 LS1 GTO is a beast.

    Just another quick stupid question, I don't have much time during the week so I figured I will try to work on something that won't take long. So I decided I might tackle my valve cover gaskets. If I change those would I need An oil change?

    And still wondering if any one knew about fuel inject o rings being inside of my lim gasket set. Just curious what they are. Upper or lower or even if they are the fuel injector o rings.

    Thanks

    get the part number from the store and google it to see if it comes with them, and unless your car is running off of coal, your not going to need an oil change after the valve cover gasket replacement.
