EDIT: I am sorry... I re-read the thread and this was a rebuild.... I'm getting confused from one member to the next this past month. My apologies.
Here's some excellent information on breaking it all in: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48993 Sorry Joe, I'm an ass.

The coolant channel passes through the runner's flange and into the head. If the gasket is damaged or poorly sealing it will leak.

Water Through Intake Runner
Yup - true as rain. That magic nipple under the intake runner feeds right through to the head and if the gasket is not right - will leak. I RTV every place where coolant can leak. .
Also don't forget about the coolant bypass that goes up to the throttle body as well RTV the Intake runner on both sides where the collant passes through, Rtv all coolant hoses No leaks yet, |

Excellent! Thanks for the pics Joe!
One thing to note is that if the gasket has a viton coating for that passage you need to be very careful about any sealants you might want to use on them... most contain enough trace solvents to cause the viton to bubble or ripple and may actually cause a worse leak than allowing the viton to do its job. If there is no sealant present, then YES, a thin coat of RTV is the way to go. I've had both types of gaskets in the past and neither leaked... never tried one with no sealant.

Well, as long as it isn't pooling up anywhere you should be alright. Make sure it's hanging out with the spark plugs in the galley.
