I love the positivity on this forum site. Compression test is 150 across the board. I do have a nasty leak between the head and intake manifold. So that is my project today.

 

Your sarcasm seems to be targeting those who have tried to give you sound advice from previous experience with leaking cylinder head issues. The information was provided to help you avoid a redo and catch what are common problems related to your issue. You have 150PSI now. But you have gambled and you don't know if you've won the bet until you have driven your rig for a while. If there was a warpage, a crack or another flaw that caused the gasket to fail, it may not show back up for a little while. Hopefully it won't.
