I had new gaskets blow in a 3300 after only a few hours, the holes
weren't machined deep enough so the set screws were bottoming out.
Thicker washers under the screws and it was OK.

Michael,
If you have the old style of exhaust with the gaskets at the head these
will be likely suspects. An easy way to check for manifold leaks is to
spray carb cleaner at all connects and joints while the engine is
running. If you have a leak there will be a drop in RPM and the engine
will run rough. I had the old style exhaust and mine would blow gaskets
within a couple of hours of being replaced. I finally had the heads
machined to take the new exhaust.
