DP gasket keeps going out

[Sandman]

I keep blowing DP gaskets, I never had this problem before the motor swap. Stock manifold to 3" DP. I just changed it on Tuesday so its making it a real pain to tune right now. It went out doing WOT runs. I got another one from OReilys that I'll put in tomorrow. Can you over torque or any special gasket that's better than the others?

Pic of blown gasket?

Gm > all.

Or use rtv on both sides.

The gasket looks fine, the DP keeps coming loose so I'll throw some locktite on them tomorrow

RTV the pee out of it like Matt said.

Then, loctite the bolts.

And make them tight, and let it sit for an hour or so.

I'll skip the RYV, never had that work out for me lol. I'll locktite and tighten them when it hot so they'll stay nice and tight hopefully.

Locktited the nuts today, they were already a little loose but not enough for it to start leaking. If it happens again I'll double nut it lol
