Re: HELP need gasket part numbers
There is no "valley cover" on a small block chevy. The valley is covered by the intake manifold. You need intake manifold gaskets. The china wall is done with RTV. You will also need a full intake plenum/runner gasket set. There are many youtube videos on doing intake gaskets on the SBC. The TPI system is lots of fun to dissasemble - it uses torx fasteners and you will want to invest in some 1/4 drive torx sockets and wobblys. I personally like to swap out the torx bolts for stainless Allen bolts so I can use ball-tipped Allen sockets.
