Do I need new bolts or studs to install this gasket?

The gasket itself doesn't come with fasteners. Use your existing header bolts or studs—just make sure they're clean and in good condition before torquing down over the new gasket.

Can I reuse an old header gasket?

No. Once compressed under heat and pressure, header gaskets lose their seal. Always use a fresh gasket when reinstalling or replacing your header.

Will this gasket work if my header is used?

Yes, as long as the header flange and cylinder head surface are clean and flat. Wipe both surfaces with a cloth before laying down the gasket—no sealant needed.
