Hi, Iv'e rebuilt my 300tdi engine after having block re-bored and fitted a new 3 hole elring head gasket. Iv'e just taken the glo plugs out to check their o.k. and
the probe on one of them stayed in the hole, so I need to remove the head to sort it.
Can I use the same gasket, or will I have to buy a new one, even though the engine hasn't been started with the new one in?
 
Thanks Kwakerman and James. ''Probably' ok' isn't worth the risk, so I think I'll have to replace for peace of mind. Speed of reply appreciated, Gerry.
