Hi jamieb , and thanks for your reply ! I messed up in my post ! I MEANT VALLEY GASKET ! I have this valley gasket totally covered in some kind of composite ! and I am not sure if i should use sealant ? I have read all i can . Most people say use sealant in the 4 corners of gasket and on the 2 rubber end peices where the bolt on metal pieces are ? if you know better ! I most certainly would like your advice ! . Many thanks for your reply ! Greatly appreciated . Kindest regards Nick.

no sealant needed on "most" of the valley gasket.....except put some in the corners where the heads / intake manifold / rubber end caps all meet....there is usually a very small gap there and the sealant will help keep it from leaking oil there.....give it a dry fit first( just set the manifold in place) to determine exactly where and how much to use
