A few weeks ago I bought a 72 toronado that burned oil for 1500 bucks. I found that this was due to issues with the cylinder head. Had a set of good heads sitting and replaced them solved the issue. I used the original valley pan and a set of intake gaskets not realizing it was wrong. The car has been running fine do I need to redo the intake with a new valley pan and no gaskets or am I risking failure.

 

If the car is running fine now there's no need to remove the intake and replace the gasket.

I never use the turkey tray intake gasket. Instead I use the side gaskets and ditch the end rails for Permatex form a gasket. You must have gotten lucky.

 

Long term you will have problems. Change the intake gasket to one or the other. Metal gaskets are not reusable.

 

Thanks for the advice. Started shooting coolant lol definitely gonna do it right this time
