good news...problem solved

spent last night in the shop again and decided to smoke the intake...again. this time i found the slightest little leak coming from 2 of the bank 2 injector seals. you could just barely see the smoke, i actually feel fortunate that i didn't overlook it again.

anyway, spent the afternoon replacing all injector seals and the intake gasket for good measure...and TADA!
everything is running good.

thanks for the help and suggestions
