The cars going to be torn all apart this winter and when I do I'll take the manifold in to be resurface along with the head so I wont have this issue. I was just wondering if I can use somthing like Right Stuff to seal it up with out a gasket for the time being. I might take the exhaust manifold off and have that done right now but the I think the problem is the head as I can feel some ruffness in the area where it keeps blowing out. Thanks for any help.

Your manifold is warped , big block or smallblock? You could try the remfex gasket or just cut the center out of another gasket and put it just in the center ?
