I'll tell you what I did;
I removed the intake and cleaned everything. Then I dropped the virgin AirGap intake on with no gaskets. Next I installed some shims on one side followed by two bolts on that side, at the front and the rear, second from the corners, which I snugged down.
Now I went to the other side to see what was going on...... not pretty.
In my case the block had been decked so poorly that the virgin Eddies were going uphill to the back on one side and downhill on the other and neither end was at the correct angle. I had to remove the engine from the car and completely tear it down, then send the block out for re-machining.
Sometimes Life hands you lemons.
Needless to say, I used a different machineshop.
Your results may vary,lol.
