reuse cometics?? ok guys i got my new cometics yesterday and i noticed unlike some mls gaskets they dont have any type of coating on them so i was wondering, when i mock up my engine for PTV clearance can use these and then reuse them during actuall build....keep in mind during mock up the engine wont be fired and i wont even be totally torqueing the heads down....
do a search dude. I reuse my head gaskets all the time or else id need a second job. as long as they arent crush type dont worry, unless high boost or massive n20 shots. do a search there is a lot of info there.

Cometics can be reused until they're worn out. I've seen guys use 'em 4 or 5 years in a row when race engines are torn down for freshening at the end of a season, same head gaskets always go right back in place. You've got the best, part of the reason I'll use 'em on my big-inch engine is I'll be doing some head swaps, etc. and I definitely want one that's reusable.
