Default Header gasket..........?

Going to order a set of stainless works headers tomorrow for my L76. Installing them myself, question is do the stock manifold gaskets work better than the ones supplied and also any helpful hints for the SW headers to go in easier would be much appreciated!

Yes, reuse your stock gaskets if possible, gaskets normally sent/ supplied with the headers are junk...

SW are good headers, shouldn't be much of an issue installing. Iirc someone said it was easier to install driver from bottom and passenger from the top, but I could have it backwards.
