That snake was about to be bit by the Fel-Pro Print-O-Seal intake gasket failure demon. If you Google it you'll get thousands of hits.
The thing to watch is when you go back on with the intake, use a Victor Reinz reinforced gasket, or at least one of the newer Fel-Pro steel shim reinforced ones. Don't, under any circumstances use the Fel-Pro Print-O-Seal nonreinforced gaskets unless you like changing them and picking up the repairs they conspire to cause.
Have fun,
