Would you really use these over again?
« on: April 11, 2012, 06:15:11 PM »
On Ebay, the rubber for the cylinder head:

If I'm not mistaken, you can get new ones from Honda for $18...

How many posts do we get here from people looking for parts that they don't know are still available new from Honda?

Well, those same people shop ebay as well......    ;)

Good point. I see lots of parts on Ebay used that are cheaper bought new. I can't really imagine reusing gaskets though.

No, you really shouldn't but often the sellers don't really know what they're selling.

....or maybe they do. ::)

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I guess with the right mechanic, gooey gasket stuff is made for situations such as this  ;D
