The Exhaust Systems Australia FORD-FALCON-BA-BF-FG-XR8-5-4L-V8-GT-4-VALVE-STEEL-HEADER-GASKET-2 is a steel header gasket listed to fit the Ford Falcon BA, BF and FG with the 5.4L V8 in XR8 and GT four-valve form.

What does a steel header gasket do?

A header gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head's exhaust ports and the extractor or manifold flange, and it has to keep that seal through constant heat cycling. Steel is used here because it stands up to exhaust temperatures over the life of the joint. This is a service and fitment part, not a performance one — its only job is to stop the exhaust leaking where it bolts to the head.

Will it suit my Falcon?

It's listed to fit the BA, BF and FG Falcon running the 5.4L V8 in XR8 and GT four-valve form. Those are specific engine and body codes, but because a header gasket only works if the port pattern is an exact match, confirm your exact head and manifold setup with the workshop before ordering.

When would I replace it?

A header gasket is normally renewed whenever the extractors or manifold come off the 5.4L — during an extractor fit, a head job, or to fix a blowing leak at the port face. Putting an old gasket back on a disturbed joint is a common cause of a repeat leak, so a fresh one is sensible whenever that flange is opened up.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits header gaskets like this as part of extractor and manifold work across the Illawarra. We clean the faces, check the flange is true and torque the fasteners evenly so the seal holds. At a recommended retail of $18 it's typically fitted alongside a larger job. Send your Falcon details and we'll confirm the gasket suits your V8.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
