Any of you guys ever replaced the oil galley diverter (barbell)? If I dropped this off at the shop with the rear cover kit/seal for them to do, would they even know about this ? Factory is like $8, considering the billet tighter tolerance one instead while it’s apart. I’m guessing most mechanics wouldn’t bother with this normally, but it could possibly leak.

I put one in mine. I used the threaded hole to screw in a 1/4-20 bolt to have as a handle. I oiled it and slowly rotated it as I slid it in to ensure the O-ring didn't snag. I didn't have to sand mine down any. The fit was spot-on. If it's a shop that doesn't know anything about that or if they act like they don't wanna mess with it "for liability reasons", then find another shop. Not just for that, but because an LS engine has very specific tolerances and procedures for aligning the front and rear covers and oil pan. If they can't handle the barbell, then I'd question their precision on the cover alignments. Make sure you get a good warranty on paper or you'll be paying another shop to replace a leaking crank or rear main seal well before it's due.
