Hi everyone! I'm cleaning up and painting by doner 2.0 supercharged LSJ. I removed to cam sensor housing because it was leaking a little. There is a special o ring between it and the head. No local parts store can get it. The Chevy dealer cant get it either. The GM part # is 12600009. Any idea where I can get one? I have found that some parts on this engine are very hard to get, as GM has not held up there end, imo.

Well these websites claim to sell it. Hopefully it isn't an old website with out-of-inventory items listed.

Unfortunately, there is no gasket in the US, according to many of the above vendors. This information is old.I have given up. I will assemble this part with the old o ring gasket and silicone. Not the right way I know, but what choice do I have? The gasket is not ripped so it will probably work. Really pisses by off though.

I didnt turn it inside, and put it back on the same way it was. Haven't tried to start it yet. We will see. If it doesn't run I'll search the procedure.
