The HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VTII-VE-STATESMAN-WL-WM-5-7L-6-0L-6-2L-LS1-2-3-L76-77-L98-ENGIN steel header gasket from Exhaust Systems Australia is listed to fit the LS-family V8 Commodore and Statesman in 5.7L, 6.0L and 6.2L. It's the flange gasket, not a header.

What is a steel header gasket?

A header gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head exhaust ports and the header or extractor flange. On the LS V8s it's the part that stops exhaust gas leaking at the flange after the headers are bolted up. A steel gasket is built for the constant heat cycling at that joint. It's a consumable — replaced, not reused, whenever the headers come off.

Will it suit my Holden Commodore or Statesman?

It's listed to fit the Commodore VTII through VE and the Statesman WL and WM, across the 5.7L, 6.0L and 6.2L engines — the LS1, LS2, LS3, L76, L77 and L98. Because the gasket has to match your head's port pattern exactly, send the workshop your engine code and we'll confirm the right gasket before you order.

When do I replace it?

Any time the extractors or headers are unbolted from the head, the gasket should be renewed. Reusing a crushed steel gasket invites an exhaust leak at the flange, which ticks under load and dumps heat into the bay. Fitting a fresh one is cheap insurance on a job that's already apart.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits LS V8 exhaust hardware across the Illawarra. We clean and check the flange faces so the new gasket seals first time. At $16.50 AUD RRP it's the part to order alongside any header work; listed to fit the LS-engine Commodore and Statesman, confirm your engine with us.

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

Common questions

Which engines does it cover?
It's listed for the 5.7L, 6.0L and 6.2L LS-family V8s — LS1, LS2, LS3, L76, L77 and L98 — in the VTII-VE Commodore and WL-WM Statesman.
Is this a header or a gasket?
It's the steel header gasket only — the flange seal between the head and the headers, supplied as a consumable.
Do I need a new one each time?
Yes. Once the headers come off, the gasket should be replaced rather than reused to avoid an exhaust leak.
