I did not. I will research how to check for droop in the exhaust manifold and add that to my first point on the action plan. For whatever it is worth, the exhaust manifold is not leaking at all, just the intake.

If you've been running it with gland rings, it's unlikely port 4 is drooping. When that happens, you can't get the gland ring to fit in the first place because the hole in the manifold is offset from the hole in the block.
