Oh my mistake. not having seen them.

Then just leave the gaskets out. The standard gaskets don't have the same problem, so maybe the extra thickness of the two gaskets allow the manifold to move,to squeeze the gasket out.

I have though before, that the manifold does form a support brace between the very heavy cylinder heads, as the manifold bolts often become loose, so something must be moving. What do you reckon Tom?
