nope. once there off thats it as far as i know fella, im sure someone else will be able to correct me on that though.
stay away from cometic gaskets too when your getting another one, they seem to have a 50/50 chance of sealing or not.
Head gaskets are compressed when fitted so cannot be used again.
Would also advise getting the head AND block skimmed when fitting a new steel gasket to ensure both surfaces are perfectly flat and clean.
lovely lads thanks for the advice anyone know whats the best brand of gasket to get?
HKS over cometic anyway lad
thanks stevo
cosworth do a h/g for the sr thats ment to be pretty good.
have to agree colm cosworth gaskets are very gud, pricey but welll worth it,
emm and there's me about to order a cometic,heard good things about em on different nissan fourms
Ive heard bad things about them davie, not sealing properly.:confused:Quote:
