One other thing, breezy...you probably already know this but just attach the intake and exhaust manifolds loosely until you have them attached and tightened on the head. Then tighten the two together. That will let both seal better against the head.
I tried that and it worked but when I removed assembly it flexed back. Seems like alot of stress on exhaust manifold and I don't want it to crack. I removed it because my engine hoist bracket mounts to manifold bolt holes. Was hoping to install as a assembly. I'll just have to do it the loose and tighten way. Thanks Jon
