Speedmaster LA heads stud kit question

I will also add (some off topic) that I've used 2 speedmaster small block air gap intakes so far, one on a LA and the other on a Magnum. Both sealed perfect and work great on mild small blocks. I have another brand new on in the box.
I'm using one of the intakes on my power wagon build and I think it could possibly be the root of all my problems! LOL..
