    You had a gasket shift and now have a leak at the bottom of the intake runners. You need to remove the intake and reseal it

    Check the angles on the heads and intake. If either where angle milled, they may be off enough to ruin your seal on the intake. They need to be a matched set.

    took all intake rockers off put a plate on top of intake and did a pressure test ,figured i would find intake leak,not the case,found the valve seals leaking by where they slide over the guide to meet the head,replaced seals with better ones now the intake holds pressure havent got finished yet but will keep you informed should stop smokin now.
