04 cam cover gaskets

[monepit]

I'm having some oil leaks fixed by a local corvette mechanic I've used for years. My 04 is seeping from the can covers. He can't find gaskets for them and when he called the local dealer they couldn't find anything either. I can't imagine. Does anyone know what parts to use to stop the cam covers from leaking and what the gm part numbers are?

Dave, I had some serious leaks a couple of years ago coming from bad Cam Phaser Sensors at front top of engine. Bruce discovered it for me. This was discovered about 2 weeks before my extended warranty ran out. They replaced valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket,front and rear seal gaskets. All I had to pay was my $200 deductible. The Cam Phasers were leaking and the oil was running down thru the wire wraps which made it appear to be from the bottom of engine.
Hope this helps.

I looked and I couldn't fine them. I typed in cam cover gaskets. What did you type I to find them?

 

[monepit]

The main leak is the valve cover gasket. The cam covers are just seeping. Just thought I would have them fixed while he's there.

Dave,

I typed in that number and it comes up with an engine front cover gasket for $18.55. I think that would be the timing cover gasket. I need the 4 cam covers on the 2 heads.

Sounds like you are talking about the camshaft position sensors. Don't know if there is a gasket. The camshaft position sensors are part # 12569160 @ $33.02 there may be more than one part number as one is intake and the other exhaust.

I understand the misunderstanding now. What I need are on the front of the engine. Where the cams slide into the front of the engine there is 4 metal covers that cover the holes where the cams slide into the engine.

Did you go to genuine Gm parts? Should find what you are looking for.

Hi Dave,
I'm curious what the Corvette mechanic quoted you for the repair cost?
I have a similar leak, and the Cadillac dealer wanted $2k.....ouch!
