Ok this is my 4th gasket that I have blown on my t3-to manifold connection

I was hoping somebody could guide me in a direction to getting one of the metal ones or something better than that white Mr.Gasket aspestose stuff...

I'm using a turbo gasket from a 1986 Thunderbird Turbo-coupe. I believe thats a T3 flange. It is embossed stainless steel and pretty sturdy. About $7 each from the Ford dealer and they are often in stock.

Sometimes if you sandwich two in there, it helps seal a slightly warped surface better.
