I have built over 400 engines and have never used a head gasket after it was crushed. This is tearing my rear up to have to remove the heads. I don't care about the labor, rather the cost of 4 new gaskets at $45 each. What the heck! guess I will order 4 new gaskets and get it over with. This is the first time I have had to remove & reinstall the heads on an engine but there is no getting around it. Thanks anyway.
