LT4 Cooling Brick O-Ring Part Number?

Greetings - My LT4 sprang a leak - traced to the driverside cooling brick (water manifold) o-ring.

Does anyone know the GM part number for the gasket?

It helps immensely when I call stateside with a part number and only have to wait 2.5 weeks vice 5 for a reorder.

Many thanks!

Should be able to match it up with a simple o-ring from a hardware store.

ScottyZ: that is an option, but prefer the OEM part (blue in color too!)

Heater: I'm not out of the woods...it wouldn't start and noticed the supercharger coolant was empty after a short drive.

Anyone have a part number?

Thanks.

Heater: Appreciate the offer...I've got a friend at a dealer, but I try to back him up on these long distance purchases.

Confident the o-ring is OEM #12608997. It is also used on the LSA motor - I was thinking it might be similar.

Car was missing at idle on #1...makes sense now - idle under vacuum so it was pulling the supercharger coolant in. WOT - no issues except the IAT went 160+ at the end due to low fluid/pump off.

Nonetheless, at least 2 weeks thanks to the strike/virus as he didn't have it in stock.

Oil change: I was concerned about that as well...fortunately, I'm ready for that.

I did get the car up and running temporarily...to check for terminal failure - idled/drove fine on a short jaunt. Crossing fingers...

Thanks!

Upper hole shows the o-ring witness marks of install failure:

Happy Friday due to o-ring arrival via USPS!



Saturday morning - off the blower came...correctly lubricated o-ring installed and reassemble.

How we do it in Germany...with no one to assist:



Quick test drive returned full power and cool IAT's.
