Valley Pan and VCG… what order?
 
I have 2 jobs I want to do. I’m asking because they are both kinda similar. Which job should I start on first? Valve cover gaskets, or Valley pan.
Of course I intend to do all the “while we are here” tasks also. On my 4.6 fire breather V8.
Thanks guys.

If you can remove VC without removing intake I would do the valley pan first which of course you need to remove intake. I think you're old enough model don't have Valvetronic which makes VC job much more straightforward and also you can do one side at a time.
