I was reading on a 5.9l magnum forum and I keep seeing over and over that some guys are reusing the same head gaskets after tear down and inspection. I was always told, that is something that should be replaced no matter what. Is this a bad practice.
I took the heads off my motor to get some work done and there is no way I am reusing the head gaskets or any other gasket for that matter,
looking for thoughts and a positive answer. Maybe I just like to spend money?
Thank you Kiddart

Unless its an MLS gasket, there's no chance I'm reusing a head gasket.
It's not worth the small savings, to risk a leak at such a crucial location.

That's how I feel Dustin, I just cant see the savings of $100 or less. My understanding when reading the articles is they took junk yard motors and did a inspection put them back together and put them in older mopars as a swap. it makes sense to do the swap but not to cut your hands off to save a few dollars.
Thank you Kiddart
