I just tried a set of the neoprene gaskets with the steel reinforcement inside. I bought them several months ago off eBay. Problem was the holes were high causing the gasket to be low. Holes were also a little small. Once pushed over the studs it was a real chore to get the gasket back up.. As a cure I used a moto tool with a 1/8" carbide rotary file to exagerate the holes downward. The three holes in the manifold were slotted the most. They seemed the most off, probably because of having the intake manifold milled to match the heads. I used the blue RTV . If it doesnt work it will be easier to remove and apply something else.
