Blown intake/exhaust gaskets in 4/4 motors?

Just got back from a round trip, New Jersey to Vermont, and it's time to 
replace the manifold gasket again on my Ford 1500cc engine.

This is about the 4th time this gasket has given up the ghost in the center 
(exhaust) section.

I've had the exhaust manifold machined and welded so the three planes, left 
right and center, align, but apparently the gasket is still prone to 
disintegrating.

Does this happen to any other 4/4 owners with this kind of regularity, and are 
there any suggestions for a longer-term cure?
