Z head gasket..

[clutchcargo]

Is there anything that crosses over for a Tri-z head gasket? YZ? And if you torque down the stock one[or any one], can it be reused if it wasn't run? Or is it garbage because it's a crush gasket? I'm assuming it is, but I want to make sure. Thanks.

83 yz was a o ring motor
84-85 was a fiber gaskit motor powervalved 250k,250L
86 they went back to o ring motors

Thanks Bryan! I only have a couple of weeks to straighten out my leaking head and break-in the engine before we hit Silver Lake. This problem is drivin me nuts! I have new head studs and gaskets ordered already. All help is greatly appreciated!
