Our manifolds don't have a gasket on the manifold flange. They do have the donut in the crossover flange and DP flange.

There is no gasket from the factory. You can get gaskets for them, however.

There is a gasket that goes from the exhaust manifold down pipe to the cat.

The one in my 93 went bad. It wasn't an issue with heat, but an issue with noise when the engine was under load.
