Default Re: P0505 why?

I thought I’d post up pics of the upper manifold gaskets. The originals and the Needswings cork gaskets. The broken cork gasket was the one that wasn’t leaking. It got broken during the removal. The other is the culprit. It was leaking like a sieve. The leaks were caused by not using locktite on the threads. The bolts were torqued to 10 foot lbs. and retorqued a few days later but backed out anyway. USE SOMETHING TO LOCK THEM IN. I used locktite blue this last instal.
