For the price of a head gasket is it really worth risking it go? On 2nd Nov, 2010 wil_h said:

I've done it a couple of times. Got away with it once didn't the other. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Out of principle i would change it due to it being de compressed at certain points. Its not much work to swap over a head gasket.

I,ve done it several times - just drain the water, take the tension off all the head studs and then re-torque afterwards -never had a problem. |

Ive done the same and got away with it in the past. but if your N/A its not that much more work is it? I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Its a metro turbo so plenty room for working so not that much of a head ache either way |
