I think maybe I did not let the gasket sealant set up enough.

So I pulled them off again and let them air dry for about 30 minutes

The stock gaskets just overlap the ports unevenly due to the hand optimized ports

So I will let the intake sit with weight on it for a couple of days and see what happens.

Why not just trim up the stockers?

are your port sizes bigger than the RS4 ones?

Send him one of your gaskets, he can make them for you.
