Spark Knock After Hughes Mod

i didnt use any sealant with my hughes, but did torque to spec...and after 5K not one drop has leaked in, and its easy to tell with mine, for my manifold was cleaned at a machine hop, so its all silver inside and out, and VERy easy to tell if oil leaks in, and theres not one drop. and my truck just rolled 200K

I bet you have oil in the intake.
Without thread locker on those bolts they could work their way loose, but I don't think that is your problem. I think you squished the gasket in the center and now it is leaking again.
When I did mine, I laid all my tools on the cowl since I didn't have anyone to help me.
Look at the bright side though, having done it once already it will be a piece of cake to pop it off again.

The intake is clean I looked at it yesterday. Yea its been bothering me it was only last weekend when i did all this and i will most likely redo it. damnit...Ok one more question put in a 180 stat also now my temp guage is way lower than what it used to be i am fairly certain it had the stocker in it but it was hung open and it always registered closer to the 210 mark but now it closer to the 130 mark may not be a big deal heater and everything is fine but it just surprised me as to how it was leaning toward the lower part of the gauge... sorry for all the questions i just don't like starting new threads for little questions
