Hi i rebuilt my engine in my impreza and the bottom end went after 100 miles i have bought another engine but one of the head gaskets is gone, could any one tell me if it will be ok to reuse the MLS head gaskets that have only done 100 miles, just seems a shame as they still look brand new and cost me nearly £100
Thanks
Jim

 

no

 

No

 

Just in case you are still unsure


ABSOLUTELY NOT - NO WAY - EVER

 

ok thanks for that, pity as thats another £100 up the spout

 

whats more worrying is why your engine lunched itself after a rebuild and after only a 100 miles.

oh.. and no. new gaskets will be needed.

 

not in the least bit worrying mate, was sold a supposedly good oil pump from a scooby net member that turned out to be fooked

 

Did you buy a second hand oil pump?

 

davis @ api told me that it was ok to reuse them

 

Hmmm. There's certain things I'd happily buy second hand for my car, but I don't think I'd get a second hand oil pump unless it was from David himself.

 

are you sure as other opinions seem to say not, it would be good if there wrong but i suspect not, it just loathes me to spend another £100 after the small fortune i have already spent and as i said the gaskets still look brand new

 

yes, once bitten twice shy though

 

why not ring him & get it from the horses mouth

 

tried but he must be closed today, can anyone contact him for me and ask his opinion on it ?
thanks

 

Obviously not if you are even considering reusing a head gasket.

 

cookstar i agree 100% i have ordered new ones and thats what is getting fitted but i am just curios now
