    Hey I have a intake leak with a valley pan gasket. It appears to me that the valley pan gasket is too thin. Should I use the other type of gasket not the valley pan and maybe double the gasket up? The heads are shaved .020 .

    Fel pro offers composite gaskets....then you can make a valley pan or put the composite gasket over the valley pan not optimal but will work in a pinch

    Leaking what? Oil, coolant, or vacuum?
