Oil Pan Gasket Blow Out

I was wondering what I can do to help prevent this blow out problem on my oil pan. I have had two diffrent engines in my car and have changed the gasket on them 3 times becouse of leaks. Is there a way of preventing this??

All my leaks went away without a gasket; using just high temp silicone from permatex (copper brand). I've also dimpled the oil pan as well just to make sure since my oil pan lip/lid didn't look very flat.

You can do a search for dimple and kind of gauge how to do it.
