He did mention the Plenum was loose, I am wondering if after putting the contact cement on, during the shifting as you adjusted the plenum, the gasket could have grabbed stretched or torn...then as the bolts loosened it lead to a failure.

I agree a check with a feeler gauge is a good idea, however the engine ran for 4K miles with no issues.....dump the contact cement and torque it and then recheck it....
