Lou: Thanks for the input.
I've been thru the intake gaskets and angle matching as posted above. Changed out the left bank valve guide seals, and the FE doesn't have rocker studs, but any bolt hole could be a potential leaker if the ports were opened too much.Strange thing (to me anyway) is the valve stems are called 3/8", but actually measure 0.370" and I used Comp Cams 515-16, which are shown .002" oversize at 0.372", yet they fit the stems snugly.
'Bout the only thing left is rings, but I'll give them more miles before I go after that.
Ted
