There is a C5 parts Catalog available for download on-line but I can'f find the URL. On my copy the part appears to be a cam shaft retainer, part number 12556437 Bolts are 11515756. Verify with dealer or other forum members before putting down your $$$. The other area appears to be secured and covered by the front engine cover and it apopears there might be different part numbers for some different years. For most of LS-1 it appears to be #12561243.
Hang in there, I am sure somebody will chime in with the URL for the catalog or verify part number.

You'll find it a lot easier if you get the Service Manual that includes all the information on the engine. You need to know torque specifications for things like the bolts for the cylinder heads, and the order in which to torque them.
Also you'll find a lot of info on http://www.ls1tech.com/ about this engine.

Just an update I ordered those part#'s you gave me friday. Still waiting on them to be delivered. Seems like the part #'s are correct but won't find out until we actually put them on. Keep you posted. Thanks again for the #'s
