New intake just pours out water.
Heads have as far as I can tell have never been removed. Manifold is brand spankin shiney new.
I think I realised the issue, when dry fitting the manifold just now ( to check and see if milling had been done) the dang manifold hung up on the valve cover and needed a slight "Fonzie" to go home. I bet I bolted her up last night while still hung up on the valve covers...
I need to order a drop base air cleaner so I guess I should order that gasket set as well?
I dont want to dammage a new intake with crappy NAPA gaskets..
Thanks again for all the time and advice.
