I coated the entire underside of the gasket with silicone and stuck it to the head. On the side of the gasket facing up I put a little silicone around the water ports.

I had to be very careful torquing down the intake or one side would be higher than the other and mess up the seal.

If I were you I would just run a trickflow intake that will match up better with the heads.

Good luck.
