Take the manifold off & clean the mating surfaces, then fit a multilayer metal gasket. Soak the studs/bolts in Plusgas a couple of times a day for a few days first to give you the best chance of removal without snapping studs. :y

Agreed :y  Best to eliminate this option before removing manifolds with the potential for damage to the studs et al.
