Thicker washers under the screws and it was OK.

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.
