Al, like they all said, I use a small ball pien hammer to flatten the intake gasket between the head and intake then add a small amount of RTV (gray). NAPA has some rubber gaskets that work really well. If I missed it in above post, don't over tighten, most folks do when the leak won't stop. One little trick I played with that helps, use lock nuts, run them on and off to loosened a little then tighten.
