    Head Gasket replacement

    Howdy, this may be a dumb question but I replaced the head gasket on my m20 and found out the cam journal is bad, new head coming up. The engine never started up just cranked over. do I need to replace the head gasket and bolts again? I Figure I most likely will
    but thought I would see if anyone had this type of experience. Bolts seem like a must, being stretch and all but the gasket still looks mint.

    Thanks

    for the $20 or so for a new one, I would not risk it, think of how much hassle it is to take all that apart!

      If the gasket has been crushed I would absolutely not re-use it. Need new bolts as well.
