IF you do use the valley pan, practice inserting it dry, make sure you have it correct side to the front. You should follow the directions about not using silicone on the front and rear seals except for the corners, if you don't and add silicone to the bottom and top of the end gaskets they might slip off. Some people cut out the center section completely, I haven't in the past but did try it this time but haven't had the engine running yet to see if it leaks or not. I think next time I will follow 71 delta88guy's recommendation though.
