So it ended up being a vacuum leak at the intake. I took it all apart and re did it today. I'm just waiting for the gasket maker to dry until tomorrow. Question, would turning the engine over by hand cause the gasket maker (on the front and back) to get sucked in or pushed out? The gasket maker was still kinda wet when I rotated it, is why I ask. I took my time and checked everything carefully and cleaned things up a little better. Just wanted to let yall know and ask this question. Thanks

there is no vacuum at the back or front of the intake but if you don't have the propper positive crankcase ventilation set up the pressure will blow out the intake's front and/or rear seal
