Header Gaskets.

[fjrden]

Are the Header gaskets one time use only or reusable?

If they are the 'crush' type then generally they are a one time use, but I have re-used mine on occasion on other bikes, but they are very cheap, if they are the steel band type then they are reusable...

Yes and no it depends on how you use them . All you have to do is re toque when hot .

ANY gasket of any type material is considered single use. However, there are MANY that can be re-used without ill effect. If you do re-use a gasket and it does what it is supposed to do, (hold oil, no exhaust leak, etc.) then you are good to go. The gamble is, a matter of how much work it will take to do over again, if the re-used gasket doesn't work. Exhaust gaskets? I re-use them all the time.
