Can you reuse valve seals?
Hey Guys I bought a set of supertech valve seals only to find out that he head that I pt them on was cracked. The head was used on the car for 4 days. Is It possible to reuse these seals on another head? usually I would buy a new set but have none available locally and need to get the car back up

Taking them off will more than likely ruin them. they are cheap though so I would just buy another set. cheap insurance.

We sell them here.

Also, Pay attention to if you are using dual or single springs. The seals are different for both applications.

Or if you want to reuse them just go ahead and run the cracked head as well, couldn't be any worse right?
