Yea I would replace but some people who are cheap spray copper spray and re use it.. I wouldnt recommend doing that I would just install a new headgasket.

thanx guys..yea i figured im just gonna replace the gasket...another quick question tho...im looking at cometic head gaskets...what thickness should i be getting...all i have done is dc race headers, hks hi-power, and injen cold air...so i dont want to go ordering the wrong one for my application
