check the intake that it is not getting held up by bottoming out on the china walls if so this will need to be cut down on the bottom of the intake and check the intake for twist if it is get it cut. make sure the intake bolts are not to long and bottoming out before it draw downs the intake .if you have a lot of pits from rust you can use A B putty or J B weld fill pits up and sand flat then put a thin coat of rtv to help seal it when you get ready to put the in take down you may want to make sure that the water ports are not to big and past the gasket print seal this gets bigger in time and boats that get run in salt water they get very big .if the heads ever were used on a boat . this water port on over cut heads gets very thin on the bottom that may make it hard to seal the intake i had to weld the water ports back up so the gasket would seal
