Olddog: touche'!! a very valid point...and hence why I don't "throw my trash in the street". we all know what observations and opinions are like...

That said, here are the pictures that I spoke of earlier:

I couldn't get quality pictures of the gasket while the intake was still installed (poor lighting, iPhone camera), but it was obvious that there was fitment issues. I would have to say a combination of poor manufacturing and slippage once installed. The holes in the gasket for the bolts were elongated and the unclamped portions of the gasket between the ports was bowed away from the head.

I have spoken with Keith's boys, and will snag a set of the Cometic custom gaskets as soon as they're available.
