I just learned this..........A 2 stroke engine builder told me that if you just heat a copper gasket red with propane torch and drop hot into water it will be completely annealed soft and can be reused then.
Annealed means to temper and strengthen the metal ....... I didn't know that either.
I used this method on a head gasket and also on the head pipe copper donut gasket where it goes into cylinder.
Just thought I'd pass the word and save a few 3WW members some $$ possibly.
