After painting the wrinkle paint, I added orange for some flare...and then cleaned off the paint on the lettering with a wizzer pad.

I like to use gasket glue to hold the motor side of gaskets and then grease the opposite side to allow disassembly. I often reuse gaskets this way, works for me over the last 50 years .

I glue the gaskets to the engine and add grease to the manifold side, I can remove the intake and re use the gaskets this way. I also coat the piping and rubber hoses on the inside to allow easier assembly and removal

Installed in engine bay and ready for a road test. CAI pipes are off as I TEST TEST everything before adding the piping, saves time and helps prevent rework
