The Texas Speed Rear Cover Gasket and Rear Main Seal Kit pairs the two sealing parts needed when the rear cover comes off an LS engine: the gasket between the rear cover and the block and the rear main crankshaft seal that presses into the cover. Texas Speed lists the kit for Gen III LS 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L and 6.0L, Gen IV LS 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L and 6.2L and the LS7.
Buying the gasket and seal together covers a rear cover reseal during a rebuild, an oil pan or rear cover leak repair, or an engine swap where the rear cover is removed to change the crank reluctor or install a new flexplate seal surface. Texas Speed's page does not list materials or OE cross-reference numbers for this kit, so confirm with BPS if a specific OE equivalent is required.

What is included in the TSP rear cover gasket kit?
The kit includes one rear cover gasket and one rear main crankshaft seal, which are the two sealing parts replaced when the LS rear engine cover is removed and reinstalled.
When would I need to replace the LS rear cover gasket and rear main seal?
They are replaced any time the rear cover comes off, such as during an engine rebuild, a rear main seal oil leak repair, or when the cover is removed for a crankshaft or flexplate related job.
Is this kit vehicle specific?
No. It is matched to the LS engine family rather than a vehicle, so it is listed as a universal part for Gen III, Gen IV and LS7 LS engines in any chassis.
