Bloody valley pan leak.It's a two piece mancini Job.It started leaking awhile back so took it off cleaned resealed etc etc and hey presto still leaks.thinking of going to standard fel-pro or similar but don't like the look as i'm using a single plane manifold.Any ideas or recommendations of another type greatly appreciated.

Is it leaking at the back of the block on the up-stand or somewhere else?
We had the rear leak on th e race car and had to lift the pan, straighten it out and re-seal with a big bead of silicon.......standard tin valley pans are not that great either.........

It's a job to tell Pete, can't really tell at idle or reving it but take it out for a blast and oil is all over the place

GO FOR A REGULAR FELPRO,TIN ONE., MAKE SURE THE MTR IS BREATHING CORRECTLY, ONLY SILICON THE FRONT AND BACK AND JUST SLIGHTLY RUN THE SILICON BEAD IN TO EACH 4 CORNERS OF THE HEAD, ALL THE REST PORTS ETC USE WELL SEAL,,,,,
