Not sure what im doing wrong. I have a 97 gt.. intake was leaking because it was cracked behind alternator... SO I got a replacement looked fine.... tried to reuse the old gaskets they looked like somoene had previously changed them and looked fine... bolted everything up... starting filling it with coolant, and it started pourning out where the thermostat and head meet, and out of the front left corner too....... Pulled it all apart and went and bought new gaskets.. same thing it will not seal at all... anyone else have this problem?
