Can you RE-use a head gasket if it fairly new ?

Post by hillhudson » Tue Oct 11, 2011 11:49 pm

i just rebuilt my entire bike not too long ago, i also just acquired 2nd oversize pistons that i want to bore up to, my question is, since i recently put all new gaskets on the engine, will the head gasket be RE-usable if i pull the head to bore the tubes?

thanks

Personally, I'd go for a new head gasket! Too much work if the used one fails!

Hill, It's looking good. Where did you get the megaphones, I sure do like the looks of them. Cliff
