Tomei Head Gasket

[vitz_n1]

Hey guys, i think i know that answer to this one already but thought i might get a second opinion.

I have a Tomei 1.2mm metal head gasket which i put on my RB25, i turned the car over for about 10 secs, did a com test, motor was blown so pulled it down and took off the head gasket in the mean time.

I bought another one assuming it cant be re-used...... but do ya reckon i could use it again? it sure was a quick $350 or whatever it cost.

cheers

Depends. I've seen them reused, esecially in your case.

If it's not damaged and sealing surfaces are fine, reuse it.

I'm sure you can reuse it.. only in your case tho...

Were did you get the Tomi gasket form?

How much better than going original Nissan?

I'm about to use my cometic one for the 3rd time. never had any problems I'll keep reusing it until it leaks

ok cool. ill give it a crack, see how it goes.

royalflush. i dont know how much better it is. i havn't ran my car with it. Main reason for me was just to slightly lower the comp.
