Carl Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I will be putting my two turbos back together shortly. They have a couple of exhaust type steel gaskets. Can i re-use these these as i dont want toi buy more unnecessarily due to there high price. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not really, they shouldn't be reused and you risk leaks or blown out sections in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just to put your mind at rest, i have successfully re used my turbo exhaust, and manifold gaskets twice with no problems, but they where completely intact to start with.

Mine look perfect as in they have no cracks, breaks etc. I just wondered if the fact that they have been compressed once means they loose there ability to seal when re-used. Like Chris says, its a lot of work to remove again if they do leak but at the same time they are rediculously expensive to replace new if its not needed.
