I have an engine out in the barn that I have been planning to go through. I put the engine together a long time ago, like fifteen or twenty years ago. and it has one of the stainless gaskets in it.
Probably a really dumb question here ....but could I possibly "recycle" it and use it again? A compressible composite one, no, but would it be out of the question with a stainless one?
Getting permission from my lovely wife to pop $120 for a head gasket could be a tough assignment in view of my newly reduced income. In general, retirement is great, but some things about it SUCK.
If reusing the one I have wouldn't be wise, and you might need it for pattern making purposes, I'd be glad to send it to you when I go through the engine.
Thanks, Terry,

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
