Default LT1 Steam Vent Washers Needed

I need a replacement washer for the steam vent tube that attaches to the rear of the heads on a 96 LT1.

I've been doing a search but keep coming up empty. My local Chevy dealer can't get them.

Does anyone know where I can find one or, maybe a work around?

Thanks,

Jake

This kit GM P/N 12556260 should have everything in it including the pipe. Try GMPartsdirect or ThePartsLadi for a competitve price. It will be $50-$100 in any event.

Have your parts counter guy look up P/N 10108689 it just may be one of the four washers that you need.

You might want to look into some oil drain plug gaskets. That's what I'm running and they are nearly exactly the same dimensions, and more readily available. Not to mention cheaper.
