intake gasket problems! help!
i have a new 400 long block, new edelbrock 400 performer intake but have the same problems. the gasket seems to want to push out on the ends (front/back). i have tightened it down to specs but the same thing happens. maybe my book is wrong on the numbers. what are the ft pounds i should be tightening it to? please help. any ideas?

I threw away the end gaskets and used a 1/4" bead of a sealer called "Right-Stuff" on each end. No leaks.
