any o-rings or gaskets are gonna be hurt by the temps the powdercoater uses to cure the powders in the oven.
How do you explain new o-rings and new gaskets installed after getting the intake back, being affected by a powdercoater's oven temp???I've got to hear this one!
I assume they did... cant take pics because my car is at my shop. If i remember next week I will
You didn't notice it when you got it back?I brought it to the persons attention immediately,and then again after experiencing this problem right off the bat!Hopefully I'll get this resolved!
They media blasting in the injector bore would have definetly caused a fuel pressure leak down. The fuel rail (supply) is integrated in the intake manifold and they made the machined surface, where the O rings seal the rail to injector, pourous and no longer smooth. I can't think how it could be repaired possible hone down hole to smooth them back out. Think I'd be replacing manifold or powder coater would be. Thanks for the post I am going to have mine redone this winter and will make sure to plug the holes. Also didn't happen from heat as some assume. It was blasting.

I'm going to go with a fuel rail system since Greg already opened up the intake and throttle body bores along with doing the heads!He is helping me get the rail system(What a Guy)!!!Greg is definately "GOOD"!!!
