Have not verified this yet but that seems to be the first place to start after talking with some other owners. I'll check it out and post the results. Any idea for the best place to purchase the Hughes Gasket Kit as well as detailed intructions for replacing it? I looked at their website but I didn't know if there was another place that might sell them? I checked out RockAuto.com but it looks like no luck there.

APS also makes a kit

http://www.apsprecision.com/billetplenum.html

But most of us run the Hughes kit. It's very simple, most on here advise not to use the gasket they supply, and run the fel-pro gasket kit from your local parts store. Get your self a Haynes manual, it will pretty much walk you through it with ease. However, if you do follow the haynes route, you don't need to remove the fuel injector's or fuel rails. Also be sure to pickup an intake manifold bolt set, as the stock intake manifold bolts can only be used once as they are Torque to Yield.

Hope this helps.
