Kind of a putt-putt sound that increases and decreases in speed with RPMs?

Do u think the gaskets went when I replaced the manifold? That means I'll have to find replacements...will the ca18et gasket work?

Either you guys put them on backwards or upside down or you tighten the manifold bolts which ultimately will cause the gaskets to get smoked.
