RE USING RJC HEADGASKITS

[Heath]

I was torquing down my Champion Heads and pulled the threads out of the block on one hole. I had to remove head to repair. Block is at machine shop. Can I still use the gaskets or do I need to get new ones?

My answer would be yes. I run copper head gaskets myself and have re-used them. It would be worth a call to Jason at RJC to get his opinion too.

I re-used mine after speaking to Jason.

Thanks. I did not want to spend another 150.00 if I did not have to.

Head bolts or studs??

DO NOT RE-USE

 

[Heath]

Why not?

 

[wb_7354]

Why not?

I would call Jason. I’m positive that this has been asked MANY times!

The reason I would not re-use them is that they are Lipped and once used they are flattened.
SCE in the other hand are flat and I have re-used them more than once.
Matter of opinion..
Good Luck!
