Reuse Stock Header Gasket?
#1
Last time I put on my ford racing header I got a new gasket with it, but now I just have the one that was currently installed on my factory header.

Has anybody re-used their factory metal gasket and had no problems?

Hey Kevin,

When I installed my Jackson Racing I just bought a new intake manifold gasket...
so just get a new Ford exhuast manifold gasket and you will be fine...

Pickedup a new gasket this morning, $14 seems worth it in the end to ensure everything is good...
