head gasket ?????????????
head gasket ????????????? I am almost done with my stroked 6.0 engine and with things finally almost wrapping up i ran into the valve cover bolt breaking flush in the head...it is the last one closest to the passenger side firewall
.... Decided the best thing to do is take off the Head and extract the broken bolt..My concern is..can my LS9 gaskets been reused after they have been torqued down to specs????? Engine hasnt run at all, ive been working on a turbo build and havent ran the motor at all.... Anyone has done this??? I know my ARP headbolts can be reused but never have i ran into reusing a Headgasket after its been installed.....THANKS

Pull the head, no worries. You'll be fine. I think i TQd my heads 4-5 times on the gaskets that are on it now. As long as you dont fire the engine, I wouldnt worry about it
