Scrape off all old gasket material and carbon buildup from the cylinder head and header flange. A clean, flat surface is how you keep these sealed tight. Wire brush or gasket scraper works fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hardware do I use to bolt the headers back on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need header bolts — these gaskets don't include fasteners. Use the hardware that came with your headers, or source new header bolts if those are damaged. Torque them evenly in a star pattern to avoid warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse the old gaskets if they still look okay?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Once you pull headers off, gaskets lose their seal. Reusing them almost guarantees exhaust leaks. Fresh gaskets are cheap insurance against a ticking, smelly header leak down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"K2 Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48609968783543,"sku":"K2-4595-CHV-006-TSARK","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/milkymotorsports.com\/products\/1978-1991-chevrolet-small-block-v8-exhaust-header-gasket","provider":"Milky Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
