[Rick Fisk]

Some intake manifold gaskets have a steel side.  Put the steel side against the head.

> Just the usual surface prep.   Clean both mating surfaces .    The intake/exhaust gaskets seem to have quite a bit of compressability in the material.   Try tightening the manifold nuts before disassembly .   Be certsin you have the thick washers under the nuts on each of the studs.   The washers spread the retaining nuts pressure in securing the manifolds.
