I may be getting ahead of myself, but when applying the RTV, do I do both sides of the gaskets? For valley pan, intake and valve cover gaskets?

Thanks

I ONLY use RTV on the end rails; as described in my earlier posting.

Valley pan aka 'Turkey pan" - ask George.

This turkey pan issue, by the way, is one reason why I just avoid the durn thing. Metal to metal needs a gasket, right? That is why we have a gasket between the heads and the intake. With the metal 'turkey pan', you just add another layer of metal. Yes, it does have embossed ridges for sealing purposes. But, like you, I've always wondered if-where-why one needs to use a sealant for the metal-to-metal contact; top and bottom of turkey pan, just the bottom...???

Intake - using the Felpro # I listed, gasket as-is out of the package.

Valve cover - depends on type of gasket and your personal style. I use rubberized cork, dry both sides.
