Did you decide to double check the intake manifold bolt tightness and suddenly, "What the..." or how did you discover they were loose?

Well, it seems that I didn't torque the intake manifold bolts sufficiently. Go figure. So it created a vacuum leak - as well as a sight coolant leak but I didn't notice that.
A vacuum leak seemed to make the most sense. Glad it was an easy fix.

Usually good to go through the torque sequence a couple times so that doesn’t happen.
