OK for you guys that hung with me on the manifold misfortunes I had. Turns two of the times I had was a product failure, the silicone didn't cure. The rest of the debacle had to have been sloppy work. I was pissed Wednesday night when I noticed the silicone I used Tuesday night was still wet. I went to the local Kragen to get new gaskets and I bought a tube of the "Right Stuff" and did a though job on the manifold. I have about 300 miles on it now, no noticeable leaks. I was reluctant to post the results out of fear it would jinx me. :screwup: But you guys were so cool with the advice and knowledge I had to let you know it worked out. Thanks :)

congrats. glad you got it. haven't seen that in a long time. and only once at that. dang silly-cone!!
