Hi guys, just got done building a 455 olds. performer rpm heads, hyd. roller. Ran this engine in a test stand for about 45 minutes noticed some debris in the oil filter, took engine apart and found the cam was starting to wear the front of the block I corrected this problem with a brass washer.
I am using Fel-Pro 1155 head gaskets which is a pre-flattened steel wire steel core laminate, my question is, has anyone ever tryed reusing this type of head gasket after engine ran, head gasket still looks good? My supplier is out of stock and need to get engine together.
Thanks, Brad

felpro head gaskets
I under stand what your going threw. However. and can't say i have reused one before. even with so little time on it. i would not recomend it. but i can't say it wouldn't work, because i have never tried. If your supplier is expecting a shipment soon. i think it's worth the hold up.
Head gasket reuse Felpro
Have bloody tried this ? it works for about 3months . but think about having to do this work all over again???????
