[QUOTE="Dirtdame, post: 1413166, member: 119586"] If you have or get a copper head gasket, you can make it completely reusable by taking it into the kitchen and heating it up on a stove burner (on the highest setting). Heat it until it smokes and starts to change color or even starts to turn a little red from the heat. Then throw it directly into a pan of cold water. This process is called annealing and then quenching. The copper has been squished while it is installed on the engine and it is somewhat compressed and stiff. When it is heated, all the molecules get to expand again. Quenching will cause a lot of the carbon and dirt to come right off the gasket and it will contract evenly and be clean, soft and ready to reuse. :cool: [/QUOTE]
