Reply to "Torker and Valley pan"

Basically any intake that utilizes the exhaust crossover requires a vally pan to stop the oil splashing on the hot surface and being cooked on the underside of the intake.

I know this is one of the standard pros for using the turkey tray.

I just removed my Performer intake, did not find a turkey tray and it did not have the exhaust crossover passages blocked. Thus the perfect situation for the 'cooked oil' problem.

The bottom of the intake had zero, I mean zero, signs of ash, cooked oil or anything other than plain oil coated aluminum. Engine had about 28K miles on it.

I intend to re-assemble without a turkey tray, using FelPro #1228 gaskets, and leave the crossover ports open. Still undecided on using the cork end valley seals with silicone dabs at the edges or a solid 1/4" bead of silicone in place of the cork gaskets.
