Might get away with the inlet/exhaust if covered in sealant, but not so sure about the head gasket. At the end of the day is it really worth the risk for the sake of a few quid or dollars? |

yeah you can use the intake gasket if you realyyhave to and youve not got a new one. but i normally use a new one
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Ive re-used the inlet/exhaust loads of times before. As long as the intake etc comes off cleanly, I wouldnt worry.

no a head gasket is a one use item.  unless its out of hours, and you needed the car for workm the next day, and there was very few miles on it, and teh head had to come off for some reason......
I did use one before once, and it never gave any trouble, but generally you should always replace. I made sure I always had one spare after that. Still have one in my garage today, and I havent hardly drove the thing for over 10 years !! Edited by stevieturbo on 31st Dec, 2006. 9.85 @ 145mph

the inj manifold gaskets can be reused loads of times, but head gaskets need replacing every time. always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas |
