Re: 327 MLS Head Gasket - Reuseable?

I know I'm giving up a little bit of compression by going to the .040 MLS gasket, the theory being that they might seal better than the steel-shim OE-style .018 spec gasket. The deck height was set at the .002 called for in the engine guide. Lew

Re: 327 MLS Head Gasket - Reuseable?
I have used cometics 6 times with no leaks. Just threw them away on the 7th, couldn't take the chance. Just saying.

Re: 327 MLS Head Gasket - Reuseable?
the cometics arent cheep but if you are careful you can use them several times. I have used them 3 times so far on my engine with no problems. .025 thick on my engine.

Re: 327 MLS Head Gasket - Reuseable?
May not be too important but I always put them back on the same side I removed the gasket from just to be safe. Copper Coat is the ticket.
