i had to grind down the heads of th valley cover bolts a little to make it sit down all the way and also i took those little plastic clip things of the wires that go to the knock sensors. then is sat down on the heads just fine

i'll try the plastic first, but i really hope i don't have to grind them, i would rather order a set of bolts that are lower heads, like the fasts do

I was reading some detailed threads about this from the Pro Prod. guy on here, and he said he has had some issues, mainly with early models i belive is what he said.

Yep, they had a new installation kit with thicker gaskets that are supposed to eliminate the problem

hhm, yea you have the blue fuel rails, i believe that means you have an earlier model then.

which gaskets do you have? are they black or dark grey?

Dark Grey Gaskets, no o-rings in them, just solid grey. But i tell you what, install complete. As of now, no manifold leaks, turned key on, fixed two stupid my fault fuel leaks from lines coming loose during install that i knew about and didn't fix first, but no fuel leak issues, seal seems good, have ticking, but it's my stinkin crap lifters and exhaust leak form headers. Other than that, very happy with manifold so far.
