cant get intake gaskets to stop leaking

[94silvermark]

Ok guys im on my 3rd set of intake gaskets right now and they just started leaking again at the front by the crossover. These are brand new fel pro gaskets and the factory install procedure was followed correctly. What do you guys think warped intake maybe? They didn't leak right after the install but now some 350 miles later they are leaking badly.

did you retorque the intake bolts after a few heat cycles?

I did not i suppose it's too late now. Would i loosen all the bolts and repeat the factory procedure of so many ft lbs then 90 degrees?

i'd say its worth a shot even now.
just try to tighten them a little. if they all seem tight, not the issue.
if a few are obviously loose, issue.
