Default Head Gaskets

Have a bet with a friend. He says that you can reuse a Head Gasket and I said no. The Gaskets that we are talking about are the FelPro 1009 and the Mopar P4876070 (over 4.380 bore). Question is has anybody had any sucess reusing these Gaskets? With Aluminium Heads.

I'd say you win.The only head gaskets that I know of that are re-useable are the Milodon copper units.

Sure, you can reuse anything! But that doesn't mean it's a good idea! I'm sure the gasket companies will also say that you shouldn't.

There is a big chance that it works, I have seen it done at the track many times with success, but it isn't designed to be used that way.
