When you are installing a Header onto your SS/SC, am I going to have to replace the Header TO engine gasket?

Does it rip off, or is it solid? Just wondering if I need to order a gasket???

Thanks!

 

its metal. u can reuse it

 

i reused mine but my car only has 30xxx on it and yeah its metal so its pretty strong just be careful when u take ur stock manifold off

 

I've got less than 30k.. so I should be good! thanks guys!

 

i replaced mine.. and mine was done at like 15k.. im paranoid though and they arent expensive.. its my preference though

 

Bingo.

 

I'm in the business of taking **** apart every day so I would reccomend also placing a small bead of red high-temp silicone around the ports on both sides of the gasket and fill the little breather holes in the head with it also. The gasket blocks them off anyhow. This will ensure a full seal.
