I am not sure how correct this answer is but I've assembled (4) B and RB engines without the paper gaskets on either side of the valley pan and never had any issues.

The paper gaskets are for the 6 pack intakes ,iron ones do not need them .If i remember right ,i may be a little rusty on the memory

Did not use them with on mine and had no problems, just spray valley pan with Permatex Copper sealant and torque to specs!!

Thanks Guys for the advice. I installed the pan today without the extra paper gaskets. I put a Small bead of Black rtv on both sides of pan & a dab @ the four cyl head corners (rails) & torqued to specs.
