Title: S4rs head gasket question...
Post by: darkduke on March 15, 2011, 10:17:17 AM
I had the heads off my S4rs and now I'm ready to put em back on. Can I re-use the old head gaskets with some sealer or do I need to use new ones? To be clear, the old ones weren't leaking....

Don't re-use those head gaskets.

It's really best to not re-use a head gasket. You'll simply never get it to seat quite right.
