This debate is one of those that will never die. The fact is you can do it either way. It's your car, your choice. Many lifetime engine builders will tell you one way or the other. How well YOU install it is the key, gaskets or not, so results may vary. Good luck.

Regardless of what any car guy says or writes, I always put the paper gaskets on both sides of the valley pan. One gasket goes on the head, the valley pan goes on, one gasket goes on the valley pan, then the intake goes on. Be sure to use a non hardening sealant on the intake manifold bolts...
