Go to ebay.com and search for "LS1 billet oil cap" or "LS1 oil cap" and happy shopping.
The oil fill caps from a LS1 engine will work on our cars, exactly the same, as long as the billet was machined correctly. For $16.00 these sell for, thats really-really cheap for these being true billet aluminum, and with a custom top cover that sticks on. Tell the seller GR8racingfool sent ya, hes a great guy to do business with.

I bought mine off ebay. Is there a difference in the LS1 and LS2 cap? Just curious. Because I bought the LS2 cap and it would'nt turn and lock in. So I took the dremmel and shaved the thread on the cap and increased the angle so the nub would catch the thread groove. It then fit snug enough not to loosen. I didnt want to dammage the nub on the valve cover so I didnt push it too far. I figure as long as its snug and doesnt leak I am AOK.

I don't believe there is any difference between the caps from the different motors. When really, there isn't all that much difference between the LS1 to LS2 really.

What your describing is a flaw with his design. The groove is cut in the cap, but it has a rather sharp edge to it, so when you use it, it actually "saws" at our little plastic pin that the cap threads onto thats attached to the valve cover. What you did by rounding the edges of the machined groove is a good, and the correct fix for these. I have notified him of his flaw, but don't know if he changed it or not. But its a easy fix, any body can do safely.
