re-using cometic head gaskets I did some searching but did not come up with much info, what do you guys use when re-using cometic head gaskets on a ls engine?
I am wondering what I should coat them with or any special precautions I should take.
Thanks!

You can reuse them if they look MINT. If there is even one imperfection pony up and get new ones. Get all of the copper spray off them and re-spray. I've re-used mine 3 times (nitrous motor) with no problems yet. Some will tell you to do it, some won't. It may be different for Turbo/Blower so wait for a few more opinions.

I have had no problems re-using Felpros or Cometics in a pinch, however if you can afford NEW I would do it. Seems kind of pointless to jeopardize a problem with all the work of removing the heads in these cars, but then again I guess money, or the lack of, makes those decisions easier.
