Vacuum/Induction Leak

I've been chasing some EGT/CHT splits on the rear engine and Savvy Analysis recommended I do an induction leak test...gaskets are cheap and the intake runners are reasonably accessible so we skipped right ahead to changing them.

1. Savvy appears to have been correct...4 of the original gaskets looked pretty rough and showed some staining from the inside of the gaskets to the outside.
2. A few of nuts were not tight...not finger loose but definitely not torqued to spec either.
3. 2 of the gaskets had been changed already.
4. Interesting to see that the original gaskets are just paper while the newer gaskets come with a bead of RTV.

Buttoned back up but unfortunately 9 inches of snow fell today and shoveling would have taken longer than the gasket change. :/

Anyway, hopefully runup and test flight tomorrow.
