Yep that was it. After a year of looking at everything on the 245, and even finding some cracks in the flexible tube from AMM to throttle body, an $8 intake gasket solved the problem,
Took me 2 tries though as I didn't see a piece of old gasket on the intake manifold. It produced a large enough gap to not only have a rough idle, but let out intake gases which would explode on the head!
Really wierd!
