[QUOTE="mna0121, post: 407582, member: 2868"] Thanks to everybody for their thoughts and prayers while my dad was in the hospital. He is at home and doing pretty good except being cooped up in the house. I have taken on all the farm duties and haven't had much time for the build. Once he got home I did make time to see what is up with the intake. I think I have it figured out. Apparently I don't read instructions well. The shop/ barn has really good lighting so I could see what I thought was the valley cover bolts touching the underside of the intake. I removed those bolts and the intake sat down pretty good. A reread of the instructions I found in bold type, replace OEM bolts with supplied cap heads...... Not out of the woods yet it still appears the top of the gaskets are touching more than the lower area is. Remember the slight degree of angle change I spoke of earlier this is where it shows up, hopefully it isn't going to be a problem. FAST reminded me if the intake were to be milled the gasket recesses would be removed, duh...... FAST ships these intakes with a couple of common ports opened but the MAP sensor and a couple of others have to be drilled if you need those ports. The upper shell has to be removed for drilling and cleaning and reassembled using RTV in an area around the back corner, guess they have a sealing issue there. I should get the MAP tomorrow along with new FAST injectors. I hope to spend a little time on it this weekend. Picture just to compare bolt head heights and a useless one looking under the intake.
