RJC Head gaskets ?

[kraus]

I have a set off these in my car now recentl dropped a valve or locked up on the guide not sure till heads come off tommorrow.The question is are the gaskets re usable or not.They have less then 3,000 miles on them and i understand they are stainless but can you un glue them and reuse or not ?

i dont think you can take them off and reuses then.but if you lift a head you can retorque them so they dont leak,but i could be wrong.

I would like to know if they are reusable as well.

I don't think they are reusable like Cometics. Call RJC. Jason will tell you if they are.

I have re used them. Many hard miles with the second use and my car is still going strong.

for the amount of work it takes why would you want to reuse them and have them fail

I would not re-use them either...get some new ones.
One less thing to worry about later!

They can be cleaned and reused.

They can be cleaned and reused.

It all depends on what brand/make they are. And most of the time it is impossible to tell what
manufacture they are. Unless they are solid copper... then it's easy, clean them, put some sealer
on them and re-use.
