After a 10 hour ordeal with removing the intake and putting the end seals in it finally runs. Reason for the 10 hour R/R was some problems occured with reassembly, one of the intake bolts screwed up the heli coil in the head and we had to redo it 4 times and finally got one to stay without pulling out. Then onto the next order of business, exhaust leaks, NEVER NEVER NEVER use the Mr Gasket Copper header gaskets, these damn things did not seal up at the tops on the header side. I will post pics of them when I get back from work this after noon. Stuck some good ole Felpro's on it and no leaks after fighting with the POS MAC headers flanges.

Been up for over 24 hours now and have to go to work...............pics will follow later.
