Loctite always seals it up when teflon won't do it. I ------- hate teflon tape. I use the red loctite, but the blue ---- apparently works just as well. I usually let it cure overnight before I start it, but I dunno if that matters.

HT there is your answer. Y8 has major issues with cylinder distribution of flow along with runners that suck major balls. The fact that my ported z6 manifold/spacer tapered plenum plate and throttle body owns a 600 dollar aftermarket skunk2 omg manifold/tb should be a sign that my set up with the Z6 manifold is the right choice.

Not sure about the loctite you may never be able to get it off again

I would try some gasket silcone making sure to be clean of any oils/dirt and letting it cure over night+teflon for the win
