Hi guys,
My buddy recently finished of his forged build. The car started perfectly. But was a bit smokey. When we checked out it was the exhaust valve seal from cylinder 1 not sealing as it should. We are having them replaced now but his question is if he can re-use the mls gasket since he paid a good $140 for it. The car has only been started once for about 15 to 20 minutes. Most people say if the gasket looks good its reusable with a bit of copper spray.
What do you guys think?
Anyone ever reused them with success?
