I like that Shellac (sp?) Indian Head brush on stuff, usually has a brush made on the lid...Nasty stuff but does a very good job for these valley pans. Advance carries some, I think Perma-Tex makes there brand of Shellac.

So I made me a valley plate out of plexi-glass similar to the Indy plate.I stoped it at the bottom of the head and used silicon to seal it to the heads. That way I could use the nice thick Mr Gasket ones with no problem. And you could see down in the lifter area to check things out. But after a while it stain the glass and you could not see in the lifter area very well. "To Be The Man'You Have Got To Beat The Man" "T/D and Pro-Bracket Racer"
