Use a small screw driver or pick to pull one out and roll it around in your fingers if its soft and flexable she's good to go if it feels dried and cracked they need to be replaced.

I am doing mine next week and I am hoping to reuse my LS1 gaskets.

Do you have new knock sensors yet?

Coolant crossover?

Rear Plugs?

You could use a second crossover and block off the middle tube.

The GM Dealership I go to for parts said the plugs were discontinued and the tubes were $65.00 a piece.

I was going to shave the bottom of the intake and use the stock coolant lines,but as luck would have it I found the crossover and plugs as a kit from Texas Speed for $60.00.

I bought 2 new knock sensors for mine part #12589867,they have the harness in stock if mine is fubarred but I want to look at it first.

well i decided to pnp my tb. I started light to get a hag of it. I still have some more to do tomorrow but I got done like 75%. I also did the bump stop mod. I noticed a quicker throttle response. Not bad. my idle is slightly high but I think if i reset the pcm it might relearn it.

you can use the rails from your ls1 intake. I didn't have to use any lube for the intake gaskets or injector o rings. you need an EGR block off plate and if you are deleting AIR the block off for that as well. Remember that some LS6 don't have hook up for EGR tube so the SES light will be on unless you tune it out. Same with the AIR stuff.
