Re: New Head Gasket Seeps Antifreeze

Hello Gentlemen,

Your information has been really helpful. I've placed the putty on the valves and rotated the engine. The putty was compressed to allow for 3/16" clearance so Monday I'll drop the head off to have it evaluated and possibly milled.

My question now is the gasket. It was new, now it has gone through being placed on the head torqued/compressed twice and removed, yet it's never been under engine preassure. Is it okay to use or should I get another?

Thanks in advance.
Andy
