You said you are using an Aluminum Intake and cast iron heads. If so you would probablly need to go with an intake gasket set for this set up. reason Being the two type of metals heat up and cool down differentlly. And if a standard intake gasket is used, It tends to cause a leak. Might not be your problem. But that is where I would check first. Check out The Mr Gasket Ultra seal. Part # MRG- 5820. That was from the summit Racing catalog. They run close to 14 bucks.
