Sad Well, the extra intake is no good. Besides the usual crossover cracks, there is a crack in the intake where the thermostat goes.
Pulled the intake on the engine and it is cracked through the secondary web into the valley.
Pulled the heads and no blown head gaskets but the exh seats are all shot with #8 exh valve cracked.
Took the heads in to have them checked and both heads are cracked at exh. ports.
Decided to cleanup the block and found a crack between #4 cyl and the lower water-jacket.

So... now I am going to sit back, crack open a couple (or more) cold ones and contemplate my navel. Very Happy

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
