Quote: Last night I began installing these felpro gaskets hoping to put 1 set between the heads and the valley pan and the other on top between the intake and valley pan.
After 4 hours of trying to line up the 8 bolts. I could only get the 2 under the valley pan on for the bolt holes to line up. I guessing that 1 of 2 things is going on here
1) because the deck were shaved (when it was rebuilt) I won't be able to install all 4 gaskets or 2) I should only be installing only 2 gaskets regardless of the deck being shaved.
Any thoughts?
The felpro paper gaskets are way too thick. They often wont fit even without any deck surfacing. There are .015 thick gaskets available from other sources that will probably solve that problem. I gave a more detailed answer in your other thread. Fix the vacuum leak and the rest of this thread may be irrelevant.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
