In the past 2 weeks, I've put 2 exhaust manifold-to-cyl. head gaskets on my 71 440 R/T. They ALL leak from the bottom of cyl. 3/5. After looking at the Fel-Pro gaskets, it looks like the bottom of the center exhaust ports just don't get drawn down tight enough. I've checked for any other causes, but ... I cleaned the ever lovin' crap outta both surfaces thinking there was gasket residue...but nope...still leaks. So...I once again need to fix the leak. Anyone have any tricks, or any suggestions on WHAT gaskets to use to fix this problem. I realize the maifolds may have a slight warp, which is causing the problem...but I REALLY don't care do deal with having the manifold planed down, unless I have NO other options. Thanks in advance...
