I have now owned an aluminum cross over manifold and the stock one and now on my third one and cant get it to hold coolant..I bought brand new gaskets and torqued them down to 20 ft lbs like I was supposed to and cant get it to stop leaking I mean its really slow leak and doesnt even fill up the block under the manifold but its dripping down on the header and smells like ****. anyway this is on a new bottom end with new head gaskets and everything.please help thanks

hey how about a pic or 2. did you match the gaskets to the heads AND intake before installing them? does the intake and the head holes line up? make sure you change your oil.

yeah I changed my oil and I did match the gaskets up..actually I got some felpro gaskets and they were stamped backwards so I sent them back and went to ford and got the same part # that was on my old gaskets. Went and got the manifold pressure tested today and come to find out it was a hose that was leaking thank the lord..sorry man to pics
