There is an air leak. Mine did the same.
Use lots of gasket paste and tighten from the middle out.

Spray carb cleaner round the joints as it's running. You'll know when you get to the leaky bit, car runs funny.

Push down on it hard. It'll not be as bad then you'll know that that is where the air is getting in.

if you havent replaced the upper inlet manifopld gasket this will be the problem, also a lot of the time the vacume hoses on the xe engines split, check them all then replace the manifold gasket if you didnt do it when you put the manifold on. they are around £7+vat from vauxhall
