weld the manifold to the head!
if that doesnt work then make a manifold from aluminium and weld that to the head. make sure its heat resisitant aluminium

Either your mani or head (@the Exhaust outlet) is warped. Try skeeming it.
Also check water temp, radiator cap as well.
And then fit Copper gaskets
If you have an aftermarket manifold then its probably that.

Obveously the experts won't agree....granted...if you have an warped item...nothing will work...

Got nissan gaskets today look the same as the cheap ones just better cut :/

Change radiator cap, flush radiator and antifreeze. It could be a cooling prob.

If i could make a sugestion , dont use fire gum or gun gum ever. If you have to use anything use high heat silicone. Trust me on this.rat wrote:3000kms ago. Manifold skimmed and head checked by engineer, autozone gaskets and firegum, locknuts and spring washers.
