Ok well long story short I put a set of ls7 lifters in my motor when I did my head swap. I have roughly 100 miles on the lifters/head gaskets/heads/arp head bolts. One of the new lifters is collapsing and I am wondering if I should worry about reusing the head gaskets when I go to replace the lifters... should they be fine to reuse with only 100 miles on them?

I would say no. GM MLS gaskets are really cheap from SDPC I would buy new ones.

Yeah I'm not reusing my $160/pair Fel-Pro MLS gaskets after 3 miles! :-(

I'd go for the new ones as well...cheap insurance.

definitely never reuse a head gasket. in my opinion that is. i just think my time is worth more than that

MLS gaskets are reusable. That's one of the selling points.

If it were a stock graphite, I'd say no. MLS, yes.

I reused my head gasket once in an emergency (dirent give a **** what would happen) and they worked like a charm, never went back to replace them.
