My assumption is to cut the intake gasket portion of stock valley pan off, leaving a short tab at the bend. Then silicone the joint from that to paper gaskets cut to match the port. (????). Am I close?

What have others had success with?



Yes thats exactly what we did many moons ago on my 440SP motor when we damaged the intake part of the tray. Cut it off leaving just enough to go under the paper gasket slightly, no silicon, worked a treat no probs, race car only.
