I,ve cleaned the whole thing and test fitted the manifold and ther is no preceptable 'rock'...

Are these big stroked 351s in need of very special intake sealing? Gong to talk to the builder tomorrow.

Really frustrating.

I am thinking studs would be better?
One more point...did you use the steel reinforced intake gaskets?

If not please do when you r&r
