    Believe it or not, no gasket is better, when running log manifolds. The manifolds will continally warp, as the gaskets compress. What has worked for all who don't run gaskets, is using a bead of ultra high temp silicone, on the gasket surface. Let it skin slightly before installing, lighty tighten the bolts... leave them loose for 24 hours. After 24 hours tighten up the bolts. Trimm off any excess silicone if it bothers you, and your good to go.
