no no i mean if he takes out the bolts after he torqued down the heads and before he starts it up and drives it, would he be able to reuse the gaskets or not...i obviously know a blown head gasket means their bad lol

Did you check your timing? I blew both head gaskets one time because my timing was too high. Just a suggestion!

They would be fine. Hell, you could even run it and swap them out later if you didn't remove the heads or blow a gasket.
