..............also, if my mechanic reused a headgasket on any of my cars or
bikes, I'd be tempted to punch him.....but that's just me ;-)
I don't understand why you would talk the client into using expensive,
higher quality rods, but reuse a consumable such as a headgasket. Risk Vs
Cost?

Subject: [alfa] Reusing head gaskets
Umm, guys, to quote myself, "...that has been removed from an engine that
hasn't been run." The 750 engine with a 101 head has not been installed.
After hearing more and more comments regarding rods breaking and
considering this engine has 1500 cc's, I talked my client into the need
for Carrello rods. They're now installed and it seems silly to me not to
reuse the (virtually) brand new 1600 head (I believe) Reinz head gasket.
But I've been told not to.
Why?
