Thanks for the feedback, that was done, both intake and exhaust manifolds were replaced/leaking 5 years ago because the originals were too far out of tolerance. My mechanic was not happy with the exhaust during recent valve job, so replaced it again, his 1st replacement gasket material was extremely rigid, but was not metal.
