PKRWUD,
Thanks for your reply. With an Actron gauge and a warm engine (i.e. running for over an hour and a brief 10 minute cool down) the left bank 5, 6, 7, 8 all read between 165 and 180 PSI.

I re-read number 5, and it held steady at 175 for nearly an hour. I had the valve covers and the upper intake manifold off in an attempt to locate escaping air. No joy.

This is driving me nuts.
