    I don't know what you're talking about, but I see orange....lol. Our impala with the 3.8 is the same way.

    your looking at the rubber seal for the end of the lim, you look where the head meets the lim, under the valve cover, like from where the orange part ends, then up to the valve cover, look for silver, if its black its the old plastic crap.

    in your pic, see the 2 bolt holes for the alt bracket, that gasket, right next to them two holes.
