So basically my head gasket went, while changing it I popped in some ARP studs, cleaned the mating faces and popped in a new gasket.
The new head torqued down fine, but when I torqued in a camshaft it snapped!! My head is warped it would appear, I don't have a straight edge so I took a chance and lost; but I digress. My question is: As my MLS gasket has not been heat cycled is it safe to reuse assuming it comes off clean? |
