You can buy proper copper based silicone now for high temp applications. Loctite do it.

But IMO, best bet is, get the manifold machined flat, and just bolt it up dry, with no gasket. No gasket to leak then !!!

They are fabricated. Are the heavy duty ones from Real Steel working ok?

I have been trying to find some stainless studs as this might be easier to hang the gaskets on rather than trying to hold the manifold in position, wedging the gasket in place, and then jiggling the bolt in and trying to get everything to match up and the bolt to catch! In not a lot of room. Are they M8? Thought if I can't find any I might make them out of threaded bar.

exhaust manifold studs are 3/8" UNC....just get long bolts and cut them.
