im removing my cylinder head to swap in a rebuilt head, with some goodies (camshaft/gear), I know it's a good idea to change out the headgasket but I beleive it's fairly new and still has some life to it. What are your feeling on changing it, and how much should I be looking to spend on one? Kind of a lame post, but I wanted to hear some live feedback. Thanks.

 

id go ahead and change it while you got the motor opened up. they're relatively inexpensive just look in the for sale forums. or ebay that bitch.

You never ever re-use head gaskets unless it was a new gasket and the motor was never ran. They're a 1 time deal. Just ask all the idiots who re-used the headgasket when they converted their LS/VTEC motors and had it blown.

 

haha thanks i had a feeling I should, but i was just making sure. thanks.
