Product Details
Features
- Trussed-style aluminum cover seals and dresses up the LS intake valley
- One-piece design includes mounting hardware — gasket sold separately
- Fits GM LS2/LS3/LS7/LSX engines and LSX performance blocks
- No oil pressure sender opening — seals off the factory sensor port
Description
This trussed style engine valley cover is built for GM LS2/LS3/LS7/LSX applications, supporting 6.0L, 6.2L, and 7.0L engine combinations, as well as LSX performance engine blocks, where the correct valley cover layout is required.
Aluminum construction with a black finish upgrades the intake valley area while helping maintain a durable sealing surface for performance builds, restorations, and LS swaps. The trussed design adds a reinforced, structural appearance compared to a standard finned cover. This cover is designed without an oil pressure sender opening — it seals off the factory oil pressure sensor port located beneath the valley plate, so confirm your engine's oil pressure sensor location before ordering if you rely on that factory port. The one-piece cover design includes mounting hardware; gasket is sold separately. Also confirm gasket pattern, knock sensor location, and AFM/DOD provisions before installation.
Applications
Fits GM LS Series V8 engines: 6.0L/364 (LS2, L76, LY6, L96), 6.2L/376 (LS3, L92, L99), and 7.0L/427 (LS7), plus LSX performance engine blocks. Common applications include Chevrolet Corvette/Camaro, Pontiac GTO/G8, Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra (LS swap or LS-equipped), and LS swap/performance engine builds.
Installation
One-piece configuration, 10 mounting holes. Mounting hardware included; gasket sold separately. No oil pressure sender opening — seals off the factory oil pressure sensor port beneath the valley plate. Verify valley cover layout, gasket shape, knock sensor location, and AFM/DOD configuration before installation.

Q&A
What's the difference between this and the finned valley cover?
This cover uses a trussed design, adding reinforced styling compared to TSP's standard finned valley cover (SKU 81046BK) for the same LS2/LS3/LS7/LSX engine family. Both include mounting hardware and require a separately-purchased gasket.
Does this cover have an opening for the oil pressure sender?
No — this cover seals off the factory oil pressure sensor port beneath the valley plate. Confirm your engine's oil pressure sensor location before ordering if you rely on that factory port.
What engines does this valley cover fit?
GM LS2 (6.0L, including L76/LY6/L96), LS3 (6.2L, including L92/L99), LS7 (7.0L), and LSX performance engine blocks.
Does this include a gasket?
No — mounting hardware is included, but gasket is sold separately.
How many mounting holes does this cover have?
10.
