[mechanix0889]

ive done alittle ibt of research but as my other post of my problems with my mkIII andi ahve to tear the head back off and i was wondering i have a 263 dolalr cometic custom 3mm thick headgasket on it now and i was wondering if i would have to buy another one of these things or if i could possibly reuse it?

any ideas?

not considered a great idea, but some have had success doing it before. The stopper type gaskets from HKS tend to be easily reused, but like I said, some have no luck reusing, some do. If it's something I wanted to only have to do once, I'd reach into the wallet myself. I'd also try not using a 3mm if I could to, as the thicker gaskets tend to be more prone to failure than thinner ones do.
