Comrades,

My head gasket kit arrived today. Unfortunately the valley gasket is bent in a few places. The bent edges aren’t creased just bent. Would it still be usable? I ask mainly because I had planned to start Tuesday and I don’t know that I can get a new one before then.

As long as it isn't cracked it should be fine. I tend to put a thin smear of blue Hylomar around the waterways at each end anyway.

Cheers! Saves me some trouble then.

Hylomar is available in a spray can now. It’s very handy stuff. :)

You can get spray-on Hylomar now? I think this post should be stickied :-D
