<VV> RE: Gasket replacement (Stephen Upham)

[Keith Hammett]

Why would you want to save a few bucks and reuse a gasket and take the
chance that it will leak?  I would rather get the gasket than spend the
time...

Why not take the lifters apart and clean out any debris that got in (not
hard to do)?  If you are replacing the cam then new lifters might be
recommended...

Also you have now started the thread on lifters, deep dimple or not...ggg
Do all vendors have the same...ggg

Very curious that only one person had an opinion, or cared to share
their opinion, on whether it would be safe to reuse the gaskets from
the original rebuild or which of the gaskets should be replaced (if not
all).

I'll throw out another one.  I used Sealed Power lifters in the first
rebuild.  I have to replace them as they most likely have debris in
them.  I have no problem using the same brand again, but I'm curious
about how others feel about them and other brands.
