I'm just disgusted as I was very careful in trying to do this job. Does anyone ever use the cork gaskets they always supply for the ends? I never have, but jeez...
I wish I had a "magic bullet" for intake installations to keep them from leaking but, alas, I do not. If you just can't, can't, can't get it installed without it leaking, and it didn't leak before you removed it, then I would start to suspect something is warped or cracked or the like.
