I'm getting there!
a little red rtv in place of that crush gasket will work, even placing that deformed gasket in there with the red rtv should seal.

Got the new manifold installed. Made a fatal error that cost me a good 30 plus minutes of struggle.
As you can see in this pic I forgot to pull the lower steering shaft back up after dropping the manifold down alongside the head. Yep, its now stuck below the manifold. 3 options came to mind: remove manifold, remove motor mount bolt, unbolt lower steering ahaft from the box. I picked removing the lower shaft from the box. All is well now, but stupid rookie mistake. Let a heat cycle go through to burn off the schmeg. Will need a re-torque to 18 ft lbs when it cools. The cold tick is now gone.
Got bank 1, sensor 2 replaced. Had a generic O2 code, in addition to that sepcific O2 sensor code. Needed some Map gas on this one.
Next up is brake lines. The PO redid the rear lines, but both supply to the ABS module, and outs to the front wheels are scary looking. I broke 5 connections loose out of 8. The last 3 really need a line wrench going into the ABS block so I can goose it better without the fear of stripping. Last option will be to cut the line and throw a socket on there. For now they are soaking.
