No as long as the threads aren't stretched. Run your fingers up and down the threads you should be able to feel it. Kind of like a hour glass. And make sure threads are clean and use thread sealer.
Never have seen a blown head gasket on a 3800 most likely the upper intake is leaking into the intake ports of the engine.
