Intake manifold assembly questions??
Is this the correct order for putting the intake manifold back on-
put the intake manifold gaskets on first
then put the valley pan on top of that?
then the intake manifold
also does anybody know a torque spec for the crank and water pump pulleys?
thanks

Stock, there are two small gaskets, one on the front, and one on the rear. I never use them because they tend to blow out fairly easy. Just get some high temp RTV Gasket goo, and put some on the bottom and on the top of the valley pan. Some people have been taking the valley pan out, but it really does raise the temp of your intake. I have a friend that rhino lined the top of his valley pan, just in the center, and he claims to have gotten the temp of the intake down by 20 degrees. Not sure if I believe him, but if true, It would be a great upgrade/mod.
