Hi!

Sorry for the ambiguousness of the posting. When I do work on my 07 LS and I cannot find info or I find incorrect info, I will do a document with pics for others to follow and make life a little easier. I did my 07 and my neighbors 08, so pics are a combination of both jobs.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what is the approximate cost of just the parts here?

FYI-I am trying to do my VC gaskets and have had 2 major suppliers contact me AFTER I place my order that both sides are backordered with maybe a mid april ship date. And I am paying $30+/- each.

What makes you say that? Are there specific issues with non-OEM parts for this repair?

Yes, I would only use OE high pressure pump seals/hardware. Valve cover seal is not as important but do consider how much work you are going to do to fix this.....

I am. This is a big job and I don't want to go back in because of inferior/cheap parts.
