Default finally fixed the blown header gasket

been having a blown header gasket for like 2 weeks and i actually got some spare time to fix it, i just changed both i put the mr gasket from autozone and i put the stage 8 bolts in that lock and wont back out like the other bolts, so hopefully i wont have to deal with it anymore but heres a pic of the gasket i took off.

i dont know what i did with the 3rd piece but it came apart right at the end of the header close to the alternator on the passenger side, the bolt came hand loose because i had alot of family crap going on and forgot to tighten once a week. but tahst what it looked like except its missing the other piece, it broke apart like that when i undid all the bolts.
