Scrambler headers-replace copper gaskets?

08 Scram-under 400 miles-getting headers coated-copper gaskets in the exhaust ports look good but are compressed- nearest dealer is 50 miles away-I will get hosed buying some new gaskets online and will probably have to buy stuff i do not need and pay ridiculous shipping charges plus it is a big time waster. Is it likely that my old ones would leak upon reinstallation. Don't want to do it twice.......

They're crush washers and they've been crushed.

I've re-used them before, but for the sake of good order its best to renew them.


They're here. Item no 5......................
