    They will be blue. For some reason fel-pro hasn't updated their pics for the grommets.

    redneck VC grommet rigging:

    damn things are priced like gold....so if you remove em and they dont go back to the molded shape.....use a buncha old inj Orings on the vc bolts and it'll get em back tight.


    i swear its like 17$ for the vc gaskets and like 50+ for vc with grommets....its 7$ for the BWD inj oring kits (i know the 12 grommet v6 kit is 274573)

    **** the price for the felpro inj orings....

    replace yer Orings and toss the old ones on the grommets.

    put $ saved towards 10lb fire extinguisher for under drivers seat

    Or..just spend the extra $5 and have the proper grommet in place with the correct pressure etc on the VC.

    price out the vc gaskets and the gaskets and grommets and tell me that.

    3$ in washers is good enough for me

    And.. I've never killed an engine with a roloc, or the correct valve cover grommet.

    It's the beauty of being able to disagree and still get the same good results.

    I can confirm this. I just did my valve covers recently, and although the picture is different, the grommets are indeed blue.

    Same for the plenum gasket, btw.
