[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1345663, member: 69719"] I don't recommend reusing a head gasket, but I've had to do it many times in my life. IF this is a copper head gasket, heat it up good and hot with a propane torch (while off the engine) then drop it in a bowl of cool water while it's really hot. This will anneal the copper and make it soft and reusable. Don't do this for a head gasket that is not copper or it will do the opposite and make it brittle and breakable. [Technically, you can skip the water part and let it cool by itself --it's really the heat that anneals the copper--but I learned by dropping it in water to cool quickly and it's marginally faster than letting it cool by air (copper cools damn fast by itself), so that's what I've always done.] But don't do this just to save a few bucks, only do it if you absolutely can't get a new head gasket in time for whatever important event is on the horizon.
