It's true that a lot of people will not use gaskets when they are using log manifolds. This is due to the fact that many log manifolds are warped in the gasket surface. Personally, I never had a problem using gaskets on my Oldsmobile engine with logs, but I no longer have that boat and engine. It's a matter of personal preference - there is no harm in just using a high-temp sealer, but if gaskets work for you, I say keep them in.
