Can a Mugen headgasket be reused?Is their a good chance og it failing?

 

why chance it.. they're only like 125 or somethin... just buy a new one

 

u make it sound like your rich or some shiyt.

 

well think about it... is 125 too much to spend to ensure that your motor doesn't go to *****?

 

yeah, its like everyone takes their heads off everyday. jsut a couple times soo
buy it.

why u gettin mugen, they cost alittle too much

 

if you dont wanna spend the money on a Mugen gasket, just grab an OEM gasket and remove the middle layer.

OEM - Middle Layer = Spoon 2 piece

 

I have reused a Spoon 2 layer before. It only had about 1000 miles on it, but I reused it. I also have ARP head studs to help seal. Not sure if that has any bearing iwth the stock head fasteners...

This doesn't pertain to a B-series engine but, I had a friend who had a D16Z6 engine, he swapped the head numerous times (tested ported heads) reusing the same stock metal headgasket- I'd say more than 4 times, never had any problems.

dunno if this will put any faith in your quest to reuse an aftermarket gasket.

 

he is rich

 

I am lazy and cheap, I would jsut buy another, to much time involved in taking a head off and back on to find out if the gasket still seals. Kind of reminds me of someone changing pistons and rings but reusing rod bearings.

 

your not supposed to reuse them?? how come?? damn i always mess things up.....haha...lol....j/k
