Scrape away old gasket material and carbon with a gasket scraper or brass brush until both surfaces are clean and flat. Wipe with a clean rag—no oil or debris. A clean seat makes the seal work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat torque spec should I use when bolting the header back on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct torque sequence and spec. Uneven or over-tightening can crush the gasket or crack the header flange.

Inspect the header flange for cracks, warping, or deep pitting. If the sealing surface is flat and undamaged, reuse it. If cracked or severely corroded, source a replacement header.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"K2 Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54605082329393,"sku":"K2-4608-TOY-006-TSARK","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5727\/5441\/files\/GKTSET-TC7418L-1.jpg?v=1781492802","url":"https:\/\/acmtechnik.com\/products\/1974-1982-toyota-corolla-3t-c-engine-exhaust-header-gasket","provider":"ACM Technik LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
