It's been almost two weeks and hasn't done any of the rough idling. I'm fairly certain it was those gaskets.
I don't have a smoke machine, but it was only $17 bucks for gaskets and a little over an hours work, so I rolled the dice. It would have been nice to use a smoke machine just to know for sure that was the issue though.
Now I'm thinking my truck(2000 5.3L) might need a new set as well. Sometimes it studders a bit when first starting up.
