On this oil change, I had to replace the filter cover studs, but could not do so without removing the header. I wonder if it's OK to reuse the gaskets, or should I just leave it apart and get replacements? On that note, anyone have a set of OEM-style gaskets the want to sell (the ones that are made jelly-roll style)?

I've reused them many times, seems to work OK...they don't cost much, though...if you want to be sure...Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

I have re-used them over several dozen oil changes.
Sometimes I even apply a thin film of Hi-temp gasket sealer to the flanges on the head-pipes to help with sealing.

Cool, this is the first time I've hed the pipes off since replacing them. I get nervous pulling them off, as at some point the metric bolts were replaced with SAE
. At some point I'll have to helicoil them. And If I have to pull the head, I'll end up putting the 850 jugs and pistons on

Somehow I've managed to accumulate a bunch of spare exhaust gaskets. PM me with a half way reasonable offer and I'll send you some.
