Hi,

I was just wondering...again... is the valley pan below the intake manifold normally
reuseable? Does one put gaskets on both sides of the valley pan and then install
it?

Confused....

no gasket on valley pan... the valley pan is the gasket itsellf

reusable definitelly YES, as far is not rusted or broken...or somehow badly damaged.

BTW, WELCOME

you may want to switch to the 1214 B engine or 1215 RB engine FelPro gasket as it will block the heat crossover port & help it run cooler if ti si only summer driven

I used the paper gaskets with the valley tray on my aluminum intake with no problems.
