Can you re-use the HKS 2.0 Stopper MHG? I'm planning on re-ordering one, but just wanted to know if you could re-use them.

Is that your sup in the avatar? I love that car...

I tell ya what Emik, Im sure you COULD, but its more like if you SHOULD?... Is saving $100-$150 on a new mhg worth the worry? And I do NOT trust spraying that sealant crap on my mhg's... Ive read too much about not doing it to risk doing it... Here read this before you consider spraying yur hg: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29335

You CAN reuse the metal gasket, just make sure all of the Viton, or polyelastomer flourine coating or whatever it's called is all stripped off, then you can spray with Brake Quiet or Copper Spray.

Oh course you still need to make sure both the head and block surfaces are totally straight, and that the RA is within spec, if not below spec. :)

Thanks guys. I think IMO that the HG could be used again, but the fact that if something went wrong i'd be kicking myself in the ass for not spending the extra $300. I think i'm going to just make a picture frame out of it or something. BTW Reign Maker this is my supra and thanks.

Emik, good call... I had an HKS stopper in mine too, and I thought about reusing it, but seriously, the sleepless nights would've drove me nuts... Every little "possible" hg issue would've had me goin crazy with myself for not gettin a new one...

Damn dude, I love your car... For such a wild paint scheme, its so clean and really flows... I think you should start a thread in our gellery section ( http://www.supramania.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=68 ) and show it off with more pics, maybe before and after stuff... Even chronicle a build if you have the pics from back when... Jesus I could stare at that car all day!

just making sure all the viton is off and replacing it with brake quiet or if you have access to it, more viton...

the Stopper is expensive as hell too...
