Default Trick Flow intake problems

Has anybody out there run into a problem with the Ford Motorsport X-305 heads and Trick Flow street heat intake ports not matching up? When I put the lower intake on, and look down the ports, the intake is sliding down into the valley to far, you can see about 1/16" to 1/8" of the head underneath the bottom of the intake ports. Trick Flow said it's because the X-305s are milled heads. Well, I asked a few reputable Machine Shops (and Ford Motorsport) in the area and they said if anything, milling would be the opposite....it would move the intake higher (sad to say but it sounds like Trick Flow doesn't know what they're talking about!), not lower! Trick Flow said I needed the .120 thickness Mr. Gasket #213 intake gasket to solve the problem.....they were still mismatched, so I went through the hassle of porting the bottom side of the ports a little to compensate. That gasket lasted about 5 months, not to mention I had to retorque the intake about 6 times before it stopped loosening up. Well, safe to say I won't be dealing w/ Trick Flow anymore! Suggestions???
