HP Exhaust Manifolds Causing Valve Cover Gasket Issues

[justin1987]

It appears that my HP exhaust manifold on my 440 is burning a hole in the valve cover gasket causing an oil leak. I've had to replace the gasket on the dirver side twice and it looks like I need to change it for a third time. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what kind of solutions are there?

I have never had an issue with drivers side..it's always the passenger side that has issues with VC gasket.

Felpro makes an exhaust gasket that has a raised flap that's part of the gasket to sit between manifold & valve cover...I have one on my 66, works great

Is it one of these?
