Is our valve cover gasket reuseable? Could i remove my valve cover on and off and not have to worry about the gasket....?

 

i did, lol

 

lol im guessin it hasn't leaked yet?

 

Nope, and it's been over a year... Just make sure you don't stretch it when you pull it off and tq it properly when you're done and you should be fine..

 

This is such a pet peeve of mine, Always replace your Gaskets.

 

Older gaskets maybe not...but these newer all-rubber gaskets can be reused. As long as you take care with them and don't cut or tear them they will work fine. Age is what will make them unusable -- they will get harder and lose their elasticity. If they are only a few years old they probably can be reused without a problem.

But for the one's who are **** about their engine get new gaskets for peace of mind...I'm one of these

 

Murpy's Law - If you do not have a spare gasket and you need the car back together in an hour, the old gasket will tear.

If you have a spare and are in no rush to get it back together, the gasket will be in perfect condition

 

you could reuse just be careful
