Glad to hear you found your problem. I have used those intakes before without any problems. \

I would dry fit without gaskets to see how the intake surfaces meet the head surfaces.

Also, when you reinstall leave the end gaskets out, use RTV, and use some RTV around the water passages, front and rear. Don't use alot of RTV around the water outlets, just a light coat.

On the end gaskets, don't use them and put a bead of RTV, around 1/4 in dia. Let it dry for 10 minutes or so. It should just start to skim. Lower the intake, without carb, straight down and start bolts and tightning from the center out.

Good luck
