so we are rebuilding the motor in the beast for this upcoming season and im going to splurge a little and buy arp head and main studs.... figure it will be easier with the amount if head pulling and stuff we do. does anyone make a mls or reusaeable head gasket for these cars as it sucks paying $18 for a fel pro evewry 2 or 3 weeks
You can try SCE gaskets. They make copper gaskets for the Ecotec and some of the 60 deg V6 engines, so they may have something. Their website is

Does Cometic recommend reusing these? I use their head gaskets for demo derby motors and I was told by one of their tech guys not to reuse them under any circumstance.

I and others have re used them before. Obviously, common sense needs to be used and if something does not look right, don't re use it.

Cometic says not to because of a sealant that's put on from the factory which sticks to the head/block. I've heard of a couple DSM guys who had problems, but 95% of the time it seems to be fine. If you're worried, just coat it in copper spray before installation.

Someone adapted it to the 97- though. Wish I remembered who, would have been interesting to see.
