I should add that the Moroso valve cover gaskets don't work with the MP valve covers. The MP valve covers cut the Moroso gaskets and ruin them.
I've used the Moroso gaskets with the Indy cast covers for years without any problems but the MP valve covers ruined the Moroso gaskets almost immediately. I switched back to the thick black FelPro gaskets for the rest of the dyno session. Andy I have those gaskets and MP valve covers and haven't had any issues. My MP covers are at least 10 yrs old. Do you know if MP may have changed the valve cover. Not questioning what happened to you just wondering out loud. Thanks
Ok

how much horsepower can be made with these heads ?? I don't see dyno numbers?? thanks Ed 330 cfm will make 650 to 700 hp depending on the rest of the combo. 600 hp should be fairly easy to make with pump gas and street/strip type cam. Trick Flow posted dyno numbers for their test engine.

What's the preferred valley pan to use with aftermarket heads?
See 440 Source, Hughes, Indy, etc. all have options to choose from....thoughts? I used a stock tin valley pan with gaskets glued to each side.

Do you have Trick Flow heads? It appears to me that the valve cover and the head don't line up so the gasket is in shear. The rubber can't handle the load and splits. A thick fiber gasket can handle the shear load. Thanks Andy. So the issue seems to be a combo of the head and VC. I wasnt sure from the 1st post if that was the case or if something with the VC changed.
Ok

Have to say I'm impressed with TF's response to customer feedback. Much better than other suppliers whose attitude seems to be "you will buy our half assed product and like it."

I have heard since then that if you remove the powder coating on the sealing surfaces and then use a good sealant it will seal. I haven't done that so who really knows or not 
Dominic was the same part number. In fact my freind ended up trying a one piece steel 440 Source valley pan on his motor with the B1-BS M.W. ported heads and he stil had problems getting it to seal up with the Right Stuff
