Were you still running the stock-style of exhaust manifold to cylinder head gasket? If so, then the Lotus Esprit Turbo gaskets are a vast improvement. Put in a set of those and you won't blow 'em again.
Instead of steel-asbestos-steel Oreo sandwich, they are laminated layers of thin stainless steel. Originally two laminates, then three. The three-lam is what you want.
Lotus' price for their OEM parts is insane. JAE has a similar gasket that looks a little different, but works the same at a more reasonable price. Still expensive compared to the Oreo's, but very cost effective when you consider that you won't have to go through the grief of replacing them again.
Good luck,
