Propper header gasket/ collar installation?
Does anyone happen to have a picture of how their header gaskets look or know how I should install them? The way I see them online the 2 piece collar that sits inside of the gasket move when I move them with my hand.

The gasket is the copper ring...nothing goes inside that.
Here's how you assemble it: 1. use superglue to glue the copper ring to the engine. If you don't have CA glue, you can just stick it there with heavy grease. This will save you many frustrated attempts of it falling our during reassembly. 2. Put the big collars (clamps) on the header. 3. Use masking tape to tape the small 2-piece flanged collars together around the header, so they're now easy to handle 1-piece collars. The wide, flanged side goes against the big clamp and the smaller side will go against the rim of the header pipe. 4. Put the header in place against the copper gaskets 5. Bolt it together. The masking tape will be gone after a few minutes of riding. You just saved hours of frustration. (Edit: well, you would have, if you hadn't already tried it before asking. ) And just be glad that when you removed the header, the studs weren't rusted to the nuts so much that they snapped in half, inside the engine. Worst experience of my life, that was.
