this may be to simple but.....did you follow the stud manf. torque recomendations and did you re-torque the head after a couple of heat cycles?

pulled the head and found that I had managed to fold over the little tab that is supposed to touch the intake. I can't imagine how I managed that. Thanks for the input.
P.S. I pulled the head without removing the intake took about 1/3 the time as the last time I changed the gaskets.
