Need info on installing intake

[Chryco Psycho]

I use them unless the intake is simply too tight to get on with the extra gaskets in there, sometimes if the heads are milled either on the deck or intake surface it can off angle & need the added paper gasket to seal

[Ghoste]

In other words, you nearly always use them.

probably 80% of the time I use 1 pair between the pan & heads

 Hum, seems this post like to move around

Neil, my friend and wiser than me. I have never ever used them and have never had a valley pan vacuum oil leak. I all so never use a sealer on the intake side.

I know you have changed more intakes and others as well than I. But like I said, use sealer on the front and rear only, tighten in a X from the center like a head and work your way out in a 3 step like a head.

I feel like I have gone aginst the Great Wizard of OZZ on this one. But I have done more than one, well more than 50 and all I can post is what worked for me time and time again Cuda Ken

Just use a thick bead of silicone instead of the cork gaskets.

Can the fellpro gaskets be reused ! Or do I opt for a new one ? (six pak setup) Also are there any better
Valley pans out there ? or is the Fellpro the way to go !

when we do intakes at the shop we use a set of gaskets on the heads, then the valley pan, then another set of gaskets...   needless to say we never have issues of leaks....     it does make getting the intakes on a little more difficult but is worth it in my opinion

I often reuse the intake gasket pan , I use the 1215 gasket with the blocked crossover , no one else seems to make them not that I look hard , the Fel Pro works
