after i installed the new heads. Is there a way to seal the rear of the intake without removing it. I have been working me a$$ off for the last few months and I want to dive the car but i am leaking a lot oil from the back if the intake. Is the only way to seal it taking off the manifold and doing it again?

or is there a way to seal it without removing.

Not really. You could try to goob something up but just kiss the ugly baby and take it back off and seal it up right.

I feel your pain. I have put on dozens of intakes without a problem until my last assembly and I had my head firmly up my *** as it took three tries to get it right. The first time I didn't use enough gorilla snot to seal it up in the corners and had a whistling leak. The second time I unknowingly pinched the vacuum hose from my tranny between the block and the intake which I didn't discover until the next day.

It sucks but it is what it is. You've worked this long and hard, don't half-*** it now.
