I have to assume that your cylinder heads aren't misshaped, so therefore the gaskets must be defective or for some other application.

It’s about 3/16” longer than the gasket I took off. I’m going to go with poor quality, everything else is identical. I’ve never had a problem with FelPro in the past. The previous one came from EngineTech, so I don’t know what brand it really was. I didn’t expect this problem from them. It’s really frustrating to be set back by poor quality parts. I ordered a Mahle/Victor Rentz this time. It should be here Tuesday.
Which gasket did you go with. Can you send the part number?

I believe it was Mahle MS15688
So far so good. They’re all built like this. The fel pro was too long. This one fit better. Make sure you do something to fix up around the coolant ports. I filled the eroded parts with epoxy and smoothed it out before reinstalling the new gasket.
****. My manifold blew out. It has a hole in it. I’m currently looking for a replacement. Also, I’m running a Whipple, so I’m trying to find something more sturdy than the plastic and rubber option.

@Supercharged111 has a whipple as well. You could ask what he’s done to make them hold up.
