As the title states I am wondering if anybody has had success or failures reusing the front, rear, water pump, and oil pan gaskets?

Thanks

Yes, BUT if it doesn't work and leak, it is a real PITA doing it again.
So my moto is , do it right the 1st time and change them.

I agree with Predator...might as well take care of it the right way the first time...

I reused my Oil Pan, Front Cover and Water Pump and have had no leaks (as of yet).

But I agree it is always a good Idea to use new ones if your that far down on the engine.

if the motor is still in the car i reuse the oil pan gasket, but replace the others. if its out of the car i just replace them all.

picture it this way, if the engine is already out, replace them all. If the rear, or the oil pan seal looks good, and you reuse it, and it leaks later on, you're going to have to either drop the trans for the rear seal, or pull the motor to replace the oil pan seal . . . not really worth it
