8518pt reuseable?
Are the felpro 8518pt head gaskets reusable? Had to pull heads and the gaskets are brand new only a few miles on them, can they be reused?

I have reused them before on street cars.
Cleaned them up with some alcohol and a light spray of some copper coat. No issues.

Yup, just do as in the above posts, but look real close at the Fire ring between both center cylinders for signs of burning away and look at the gasket material in between those rings for signs of brittleness and or overheating.
If all is well it should look like those other areas inbetween the other cylinders, if it does not then don't chance running it!

With how cheap a Full engine gasket set is ..including those head gaskets, I myself wouldn't even consider it. Ain't got time for a recall.
