thesolidman1 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I have reused them successfully but also used a sealer. http://www.2wheelpros.com/permatex-copper-spray-a-gasket-9-oz-2359961.html?gclid=CJHr4_SbzrsCFYVlfgodQDMANg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldtrialchamp Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
