Default problems with exaust amnifold gasket

am eperiencing issues with the exhaust manifold gasket leaking
have used the one piece gasket from the Payen set which just burns away and the "two piece" stainless one from the EFI , which loses the center material and then leaks - any suggestions?

they both are a metal type one piece gasket that can go on either mfi/efi it's down to port shape which gasket you use out of the gasket sets sounds like your getting wrong gaskets sent to you

What you need is a genuine ford gasket mate, the payen ones and other aftermarket ones DON'T have the metal sealing rings where the ports are like the ford ones do. I had the same problems mate, and it will solve it.
