Talked to soon..... still have a leak on the intake ...front intake port for 1&2.... and an exhaust leak at the rear port on 3&4

Amazing what you discover once the muffler is installed.... also removed fan belt for a short run...... without the blast from the fan you can test for leaks a lot more accurate.

Even disconnected the PCV to see if the idling would improve... not such luck.

Will now wait to get the special one piece thick manifold gasket set before doing anymore harm.

Frustrated....Bob
