any one reuse their cometic hg before?

thanks tom

never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever reuse a head gasket. it's just asking for trouble. i'm not saying it hasn't ever been successfully done, but is the risk really worth it?

talked with cometic a while back, they didn't recommend reusing their HGs

you can, but i wouldnt.

haha, yall are prob rite, i reused it twice so far . i guess tis time for a new one finally haha

I thought that was half of the pros of buying a MLS HG is to be able to reuse it?

the material they spray the h/g was starting to bubble on my cometic so i found a new one for 120 shipped, better 120 out of my pocket then to blow it while being driven ....... hard

[Justin Duncklee]

ha ha, you're car is always driven hard.

[SullivanRacing06]

oh yea real hard

I thought people were having problems with cometic head gaskets anyway? ?
I've heard OEM or Cosworth were the way to go.
