Few ?'s after intake install

First off Everything runs good now but I went around the whole engine with carb cleaner to maybe find intake leaks, so I did find on the last 2 bolts on the pass side intake. I tightened them even more like 40LBS then the only leak i can find is the fuelinjector for # 8 cylinder. If i spray down the bore with the injector in i can hear the engine stummble just a tad so i tighten the fuel rail even more but it still does it any suggs?
also the engine doesnt smoke one bit, and I have no coolent loss but when i changed my oil afterwords it looks a little bubbley when i pulled the dipstick out. Is that just cause I had the car running? Thanks

Might be that the o-ring on the injector is damaged. Is this an aftermarket manifold, like and edelbrock? Just curious... might be a manufacturing defect, they seem to have alot of those.
Bubbly... check it again see if its the same. Generally oil doesnt form bubbles that stick around too long. Maybe theres some coolant residue still in the oil. Keep an eye on the oil and the coolant just to be safe.
