I had problems with this before and it turned out to be an untrue header flange. Once I fixed the flange issue, I have gotten away with doubling up on the standard gaskets, but they eventually fail. I had a company that makes graphite gaskets for industrial purposes run me a small batch a few years ago. These have performed flawlessly. I'll go thru my records and send there info later today. Great company.

Over the past several years our racing program got tired of what was on the
general market and began production crushable graphite die cut gaskets at
about .060" in thickness.  They have a stainless steel insert and work
flawlessly. I and other racing FOt'ers' have been using them for perhaps 7
years now.  Moss will be carrying them very shortly. 
Very shameless self promotion.  But, I have not brought this forward
previously.   
Contact me off line if you have any interest.
