Need help with Header Gaskets
Hello, I was wondering if it’s fine to re-use the Stock header gaskets and bolts for my new headers. My car currently has 11k miles if that helps. Thank you.

The bolts are a no brainer but why go through all that work and reuse a gasket, there are enough things that could go wrong on that job?

Would highly recommend the Mr Gasket Ultra-Seal gaskets. They are much thicker and conform better than the stock GM ones. I put on new GM gaskets and they leaked nearly right away with my TSP headers. Swapped in the Ultra-Seals and never looked back.
https://www.holley.com/products/ls_p...ets/parts/5967 Also consider the Proform Wedgelock header bolts. I retorqued mine after 1000 miles and they were still to spec - very good product https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pro-66755
