old rings

I can't help myself............now to throw some gas on this fire...........how many of you use rubber re-usable valve cover gaskets?.................how many of you use rubber re-usable oil pan gaskets?.............tranny pan gaskets?..........when you pull a plug to read, do you throw the set out, or do you save the set to use later after jettings set?

The re-use of an item is not bad; the degree some will go (myself included) is what is shocking; does it always work; no; does it always fail; no; new parts don't always work eather. It's all an excersise in learning.
