The starter was a learning curve. Now that I have done it, I could probably do the install in about half the time.

Did you use the gaskets that came with the kit or something else. Jack (Huitt24) found that the best sealing gaskets were the factory manifold gaskets. That's what I used on my truck and it's been 2 years and no leaks!

I used the ones that came with it. They're the same except there's 3 layers instead of one.
