One more time, repeat after me... IT'S NOT a CRACK!

I'm not sure if you're supposed to loosen, move and retorque the Failpro 1020 head gaskets. I believe they're supposed to be a one-shot torque gasket. I'm sure repositioning them for the intake would be a no-no. The port alinment and everything else is perfect with the intake anyway.
