Mike is talking about this thread.
http://64.246.42.114/vboard/showthre...threadid=81475 Mike, it helps to keep questions about a certain problem you are having in the same thread. Otherwise some of us won't know what you are talking about.

take a good look at the gasket that you have in there now when you remove it, it'll tell you if the header flange is shot

don't use double gaskets, get some aluminium shim gaskets.

Check with Feldpro. 454's are prone to blowing exhaust manifold gaskets. Feldpro has a better gasket then the normal set up. It's made like a head gasket complete with a fire ring around the opening.

My gaskets kept blowing out also, until I went to a speed shop and bought some aluminum ones. That will do it! Never had another leak.
