Re: Cometic head gaskets
Cometic sounds like the ticket! Just spoke to them and they say to see if you can re-use a gasket measure the uncompressed thickness of the gasket material in an area between cylinders. If it measures .012 or more than the compressed thickness spec, ie .040 on most, you should be good to go. So if you get a thickness of .052 or more clean with brakeclean and re-use. If it is a couple thousands less than .040 spray with copper coat for insurance and use! Cometic feels real confident with their re-use ability. What a deal!
