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

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.
