Has anyone else had trouble getting the intake to seal on a 440? It is REALLY starting to piss me off that I have to constantly take this intake off to re-gasket it. It's a 78 model block with 516 heads that are fresh from a machine shop and a weiand dual plane aluminum intake.
I had the machine shop check for square on the heads, they said they are fine. I checked the intake for squareness and it is fine as well. I tried using the paper gasket that fail-pro come with and no bueno. I ordered the victor-reinz gasket and it just comes with the valley pan. I tried just the pan, no bueno. For the third time I have taken this intake off to retry and seal it, I used the metal pan gasket with #2 sealer, no bueno. I am about done with it....
Suggestions?
