Not Ranked
Replaced the intake with 1/8 thick SCE gaskets #136106. I had to trim the gaskets to fit the larger ports and used Permatex Hylomar gasket sealer on both sides. I replaced the valve cover gaskets and used Hylomar on both sides. While I had the valve covers off, I replaced the valve seals and adjusted the valves. Drove 128 miles this weekend. Pulled the plugs and they were all tan in color. Check my gallery for pictures of the plugs. Problem solved!
I originally purchased longer ARP intake manifold bolts and cut them to length so they did not bottom out. This way I had plenty of threads to grab in the head. Torqued the bolts to 20 ft/lbs. No leaks!
