1.
Be sure that the mating surfaces of the block and the surface of the cylinder heads that will meet the valley cover are
thoroughly clean and free of any oils or debris before installation. Use alcohol or lacquer thinner on a lint-free rag to clean.
2.
Apply a continuous, 1/8” bead of automotive RTV silicone sealer to the end sealing surfaces on block and along bottom of
the intake flange on the cylinder heads where they will meet the valley cover.
3.
Pay special attention to the corners of the cylinder heads where they meet the end seal surfaces (Use a bit more silicone
here).
4.
Position the valley cover in place on the engine and install the supplied bolts with their corresponding washers.
5.
Tighten bolts to 10-12 ft./lbs.
(Except the #10-24 bolt. It will only require being snugged down.). Tighten in a crisscross
pattern, starting in the center and working your way to the ends.
6.
Place the intake manifold in position and torque manifold bolts to 25 ft. lbs., following the factory torque sequence.
NOTES: The installation method below requires that the end seal surfaces be drilled and tapped for the supplied hardware. Care should
be taken to make sure any metal shavings DO NOT enter the lifter valley area. Ideally, this should be performed prior to engine assembly
by test fitting the cylinder heads and valley plate in order to mark the hole locations, using the valley plate as a guide. After
drilling/tapping is complete, then the engine should be cleaned prior to assembly. If the engine is assembled, the valley area, cylinder
heads, and any other openings near the end seal area should be masked off and all shavings cleaned away prior to removing the masking
material. There are five (5) 1/4-20 holes and one (1) #10-24 hole (See the Valley Cover for location). The #10 is used due to limited end
seal surface in this location. Use extra care in drilling this location. Complete the final installation of the valley cover only after the
cylinder heads have been installed.
