gaskets 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I am having to take the front head off to have the broken ais plug drilled out. I was wondering if i could use the same valve cover and head gaskets or could i make my own out of cork?

Re:gaskets 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Ive read several tech tips where the valve cover gasket can be re-used if it's not damaged. As far as the head gasket goes, if it can be re-used, it would be the first time Ive heard of that..would it work? maybe, but who wants to go back in just in case it doesn't work..? Get a new one...

Blown head gaskets are BAD news, don't even thing of reusing one!
