are new crankcase-cylinder head gaskets a necessity for a rebuild?
what about the carb end ... reused gaskets have seemed to work for me so far, as long as the gasket was not damaged during disassembly, and it was replaced in exactly the same manner.
if a gasket does come off clean (no surface tears or surface breaks or breakdown of the fabric-as by bending) is there a good way to restore a used gasket in good condition prior to reapplication? (would save a weeks time in some cases on a rebuild)
if they can be saved, any tricks to removing a gasket so that it comes off clean?
