Exhaust Problem

As the exhaust leaves the manifold and enters the pipes the gasket between the two on both sides leaks or just blows. I've gone through 3 already in a short time. Is there a solution to this or do I just keeps wasting money?

If I had to guess, I'd guess that there is a piece of the old gasket stuck up inside the manifold or on the pipe. Sometimes thos things get corroded pretty bad and it's hard to get the surface clean and smooth. You might have to take the manifold off to get a good cleaning done.

To my knowledge manifold was cleaned up when I took engine out for rebuild. Would it be possible for it to be further up the manifold?
