I bought a new Victor several years ago and it sat too high with a Felpro .040 gasket. I checked the port alignment without the gasket and it looked perfect. So I put a small amount of silicone around the ports and water cross over and ran it liked that for many years and it never leaked. Currently I am building a new engine and if it fits the same on the new engine I won't bother to mill the intake I will use the same process. Besides, gaskets are over rated.
