  sounds like the exhaust manifold gaskets i bought for my 8v. the
layers are there to crush when you torque the head down. this will
supposedly make a better fit because it will conform to the slight
variations between the block and the head (or the head and the manifold,
in my case). generally they're more expensive, however i have better
luck with them, exhaust-wise.
