reuse of head gasket

[thebuddrik]

all right, before some of you guys bushwack me I have read all of the threads about the coper spray and everything else. here are some pics of my head gasket. I am just wondering if this is acceptable for reuse or not.

Thanks

never reuse a grafite gasket.... the only reusable head gaskets are the metal ones and they are good for 3-4 times usally

if you want a reusable headgasket buy a cometic, I used to reuse them constantly at a mustang shop, the shop cars were 400+ cubic inch 16.5:1 compression nitrous motors that were broken down monthly, so the reuse of the cometic gaskets was a godsend, and we never blew them even with motors making well over 1000hp

i thought you told me your motor had a metal hg on it.
