Using head gaskets over, has been a practice since the stockcar days. I have a stack of old copper gaskets and I can't remember buying a new one. Same with bearings. I use Hi tac or copper coat. In the future I'll use Latex paint on the aluminum side. For the new builders, better check the cam bearing clearance, Some of these are way out. Now I measure them before i remove them. Gota admit, they're well lubricated.
