Well I thought I had posted this but couldn't find it or the email. I took a 455 and put on Aluminum heads and intake. When putting the intake on I did not put the valley pan on due to the pan has points that set on the heads. The Aluminum heads do not allow for this. Also when puting the intake on in the valleys we just put a thick bead of RTV from head to head. I am now getting a leak and wondering if I should have put the pan in.
