Nothing was pinched when you set the intake down was it? The gaskets were lined up? I don't recall if the v8 gaskets have the plastic alignment peg molded into them, the v10s do and if they aren't seated they get pinched and it causes a vacuum leak at that cylinder into the cam valley and that will cause a misfire and pull in oil.

There are tabs that lock into the head gasket i believe?
worst case scenario , this must have occured. But while placing the manifold back, we didn't have any issues..

If i don't find it tomorrow, guess i'll order a new gasket set and redo it , just to be sure 😂🫠
