Evo / Rev # 2T - Ok To Reuse The Head Gasket?

Featured Replies

I know not technically correct, but just wondering if anybody has tried re-using the head gasket on Beta 2T, if it's OK. Thanks

If it was air- cooled, it would not be an issue. It would be risky to loose a cylinder from a coolant leak. But it should work in a pinch. Good Luck.

haven't tried with a EVO, but have reused REV head gaskets over and over, never an issue. just make sure the black sealing compound is for the most part still there (some deterioration is fine). I just use a very light smear of high temp wheel bearing grease to help it seal but not enough so that it would squeeze out and get into the cooling system

Re using a head gasket is probably ok but it's got properties that only are meant to work once, crush and adhesion for instance

I would use a sealant with an adhesive property, remember many gasket sealants become lubricants at high pressures

Never heard of grease on a gasket, I have always believed in clean and dry to make the surfaces mate, grease would do the opposite and make them ever stick to each other
