Kept them in the package lol. I haven't put the second set on. I found the issue when I was tearing down the engine

Ya should only tq them to 25ftlbs then after a couple of miles check and re tq them, I have the edelbrocks and am using the gaskets provided unfortunately I am still putting everything back together with my complete truck rebuild lol so I haven't had a chance to turn the truck on yet.

The gaskets that came with the Gibby's I bought were solid for the 8 months I had them on. Looked really good when I pulled them off. I'm running Felpros right now as that's what came with the upper engine rebuild kit. Time will tell.

Did you get your heads installed? Didn't see any threads about it.

UPDATE:

During lunch today, I slid under the truck and found that the passenger side collector flange bolts were loose. Tightened them up, no more leak. They must have worked their way loose during the camping trip. My apologies to Remflex; however, I will be emailing them for a new gasket for the passenger side, plus getting the stage 8 fasteners.

As yes the collector bolts are a bitch to keep tight. I might try some locktite on mine.

I'm going to try some lock nuts (all metal) on mine. My hand is too big (or too PITA) to get both a lockwasher and nut on the bolt.

They're on, and they rock! Truck pulls like a branded ox at WOT. Engine barely feels like its working at highway speeds. It'll pull up to speed before I realize I'm there. GREAT upgrade!
