Re: reuse head gasket (DLB1994)

I resued my Spoon 2 layer when it had 500 miles on it. I also had ARP head bolts to make sure it was torqued accordingly...

Re: reuse head gasket (DLB1994)

I wouldn't recommend it. From what I understand, a metal headgasket actually yields (warps) when you torque it. Just based on that fact, I wouldn't reuse one. I could be completely wrong, though...
