I deserve a gold medal on intake manifold leak repair!

I started at 11:30 PM and im done, Its now 2:50 AM. It seems the back passenger side bolt and the oil pressure sensor were leaking.. Ugh, darn thing.. This is a notice to all of you doing a manifold leak repair, do it right the first time.. i wish i had listened and not started it up so soon.. i wouldnt be doing this now.. I also have to replace my clutch that is now slippin from the oil.. But yea anyway, I deserve a gold medal or trophy.. Has anyone done it faster than this?


EDIT:: a little tip.. Tighten the bolts to about 32 in lbs and wait! About 30 min, then tighten them again.. This way you dont squeeze out all of the RTV.. and it has more pressure on the RTV aswell..
