    Doesnt the manifold spacer make it run leaner?

    did you install that and the gear at the same time?

    only other guess I got is an O2 sensor

    yeaaa they both went on at the same time.. O2 sensor also a good call. will definitely look into that if all else fails.

    on the topic of all else, is "permatex ultrahigh temp copper" gasket maker the right product?

    Bank 1 bank 2 system too lean. probably a vacuum leak, (loose hoses, improper installation of intake gaskets, throttle body gasket, check hose at back of intake. Check o-ring on mass air flow sensor. I would check fuel trim with a scanner and report back readings.

    I bought a sheet of the Cometic gasket material and cut a new one when the gasket that came w/ the spacer fell apart after I removed it during the cam gear installation. I didn't put one on both sides of the manifold spacer though.o_O

    well if the problem persist it may be easy enough to remove the spacer and see if that clears the problem.

    i dont have either of these mods done but im betting the manifold spacer is much easer to remove to see if the problem clears

    The Cometic gasket @Chris(NJ) mentions goes in between the manifold spacer and manifold. The OEM orange gaskets stays on the intake pendulum (this is a recessed gasket). Not having a gasket on the spacer/manifold side is 100% your issue.

    okay, so maybe this cometic gasket is the better way to go than permatex? any idea is there is a PN for that, or does it need to be a custom cut piece?

    It's a much better option than slapping permatex on there. It comes in a blank sheet. Look at my pic above. You'll wind up placing the spacer on the sheet, trace it, then cut it out. Your local autozone/oreillys/whoever might even carry it. Otherwise, you can source it through Amazon/jegs/summit.
