Inner primary and primary gaskets
Had inner primary off about 500 miles ago, put new inner primary and primary gaskets in when I reassembled. I'm removing them again to install Baker comp. Can I reuse the gaskets since they were only on 500 miles or should I replace them. I have new ones, just hate to waste gaskets if they are good.

You should be fine.
|
drain the oil into a clean pan and reuse it along with the gasket.
|
Gaskets are relatively cheap. I would change them.
|
Ive used the same gasket like 8 times.
Save the new one for when you actually need it. |
Due to the amount of work required to change them if God forbid one goes bad. I would change the inner ones for sure. The outer gaskets are easier and quicker to get to if there is a problem.
|
Appreciate the input, for the $40 I'll replace them.

I wouldn't necessarily call $40.00 for a outer primary gasket relatively cheap. I've used mine many times over. Just be careful how you handle them. |

If the primary chain case cover gasket is damaged or deteriorated in any way, replace the gasket prior to installation of the primary chain case cover.
-=========================================== above is from instructions to install Baker Comp. I tend to always have the gaskets available. and swap them. but i looks like you can reuse away if no noticeable damage. You also stated only 500 miles ago... i would tend to believe the are fine. Nothing work then doing work and not having the proper O-Ring or gasket on hand depending on the distance you need to travel to get one. |
