Rusin no looking for the pan between the intake n the block
I have never had any luck using the original "turkey tray" pan. Also, every single one I have taken apart shows evidence of leaking at some time...
With that said, I recommend felpro 1356 intake gaskets.
Smear the head side with some gasketcinch as well as the actual intake.
...your sealing problems will be solved.
