Default y8 headgasket

This may be a stupid question but I heard some people saying that the y8 headgasket is metal. So I wanna know if it is resusable?

if you like to destroy your engine.


Yeah if it is a metal one, you may be able to re-use it. Depends on the condition of it. This is NOT reccomended though, most people do it for temporary fix, long term use finds blown gaskets and other goodies.

i meant that the gasket is metal....my bad....i didnt see the reusable part....

it depends on how many miles are on the gasket, if its the same one used on the motor, and if it has any problems....sorry to be so vague about it, but if its the same one youve been running off the motor youre installing it on and it has a lot of miles, than dont even mess with it...buy a new one....
