Google is your friend, since I provided the part number..

These gaskets work just fine, when used with orange RTV and are reusable. Just make sure your header bolts are 1" long. When you factor in the thickness of the header flange and the depth of the exhaust bolt hole, I've found that shorter, more commonly available 5/16" thread header bolts truly aren't long enough.

As the wise ones are telling you, don't just shop for the lowest priced part, as the lowest part price will inevitably cost you more in the long run redoing the job over and over.

Research the quality of the part needed first... some instances you may get away with a lesser quality part, where other may require the best you can get.

Once you have identified what brand/part# you need to satisfactorily do the job, then start shopping price between the different vendors.

Yes, you will likely pay a little more now, but you will not regret it in the long run.

Like most things, you typically have to make your own mistakes to appreciate it... but learning from the mistakes of others certainly has its benefits... and the best part is, there are plenty of folks here willing to share their experience at no cost to you.
