Pulling out the generator

Hi everyone,
I just want to be sure these are the nuts and bolts to disconnect the exhaust from the generator.

Looks like there's a gasket in between the connection, does it need to be replaced?


Thanks
Frank

I would say Yes and Yes.  Gasket might be saveable since I have had some luck but also some were stuck and when you pull the pipes apart the gasket wants to stick to part one side and part the other as it tears.

Metal gaskets can be reused if not wrinkled after removal. Asbestos gaskets usually tear or fall apart on removal. The only metal gaskets that cannot be reused is the crush type. They are imprinted once and cannot be reused because of that. They will leak.

Do you think the gasket is something That could be found at the auto parts store or Napa?

Tractor dealership parts department.  Think small diesel tractors. Also you can find on ebay. Last resort can get high tempture gasket material from parts store. Make own. There is a form a gasket that is high temp
