Header Gasket Install

[01_SVT]

Hey Guys,

I have an 01 Cobra with JBA Headers. It sounds like the driver side Header Gasket on the motor side is leaking and needs replacement......I have 3 questions

1 - I bought a new factory gasket, is this good for a replacement or should I have gone after market and why?

2 - My skills are basically a "Backyard Mechanic" do you think this is a job i can do myself or should I pay a shop a quoted $245 dollars to install it for me?

3 - If i were to do this myself, any advise, reccomendations or concerns i should worry about while swapping the gasket?

Thank you for your help!

Before you replace the gasket and call it good, be sure to inspect the header for cracks, jbas are known to crack.
