I couldn't use the cork gaskets supplied with the intake gasket set for front and rear intake to block valley.Make sure that the sealing surfaces for valvecover head and intake line up .I had to have intake manifold milled to match,which made front and rear even tighter. Blue RTV front and rear , be sure to get the corners.
The part of gasket that protrudes between head and intake manifold where the valvecover seals. Cut it a little high and peen the rest level with the sealing rail. A touch of RTV there also.
