Ok, I cleaned off all the viton and checked for cracks. All good. So I coated the gasket w/ about 3 coats of disk brake quiet, however, it seems it bubbled up in some areas. Should I redo or ok to go?
MHG reuse?

Done correctly there's no "risk".....
Never had success with Brake Quiet, VHT Copper spray worked well.

We have re used our cometic's 12 times on our LS2 race engine. Still sealing and working fine. If done properly there is no problems
Thx guys! This is my first time reusing a MHG. I knew I could from reading IJ's comments on another thread 
I'll get some copper spray and redo it. Do I have to install it immediately or allow the spray to dry?

I have everything ready to go then wait till it's tacky then install it and the head, 0 issues doing it this way.
If you're using ARP Studs it helps if you glue the washers into the head with grease before dropping the head down over the studs.
ya ij is right on that just learned the hard way didnt do thr stud arp but went with arp bolts and yes the washers need to go in first.
