well seems I need to pull a cylinder off my rebuilt motor. can't even believe it. its my mag side I'm having a issue with. I know its been posted I can reuse the head gasket with a coat of copper spray but what about the base gasket? reuse with sealer? not reuse?

if they do not tear when you take them apart, should be ok with a layer of high tac on both sides of the gasket. i would be parinoid though and check it with brake kleen while running for leaks by spraying the base gasket.

I’ve reused base gaskets on my viper. As miam said clean really well and use copper spray.

thanx for the reply's riders. decided to just go with a whole new gasket/seal set. I've used the copper spray in the past with poor results so just for piece of mind I should be safer with a new gasket set. too much work to chance.
