Here is the Exhaust Port Gasket Installation Tool I design and 3D printed on FDM 3D printer out of PLA plastic. You can use it too, here is the download link for 3D files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xtmuNQhDMwHdIUm74 04QoquznCVKpUBx/view?usp=sharing The tool works flawlessly and costs just a few cents for material.
So, print the tool
Prepare exhaust header gaskets, the header nuts and the tool
Put the gasket on the tool
Attach the tool with the gasket to the cylinder head
Attach the nuts to the studs and start snugging the nuts evenly driving the tool with the gasket into the gasket pocket. Do about 1/4-1/2 turn of each nut per time altering between them
Slightly snug the nuts when the tool is at the end of the travel
Remove the tool and inspect the gasket installation.

Looks like a useful tool to prevent the gasket from deforming during installation. Need one also since I'm going to work on my motorcycle exhaust components soon. |

There is a way to install that gasket with exhaust headers flange, but this tool makes it faster and easier. |
