I need to remove the heads off of a newly rebuilt engine (4-cylinder) I built (never run). They have already been torqued. Are the head gaskets and gasket between the cylinder and block, compression gaskets that should be thrown away (i.e., replaced with new one) after I untorque the heads?
The head gaskets will be easy to replace. But I'd have to pull the cylinders to replace the ones between them and the block. |
