Here is one scenario most recently:
There is one guy in Jamaica that re-used a gasket on time and it failed, not saying because he sprayed copper spray on it or not, but when we sent him another one and put it on dry, it worked no problem. Then he dyno'ed the car, pulled the head off to have us do work on it and re-used that same gasket and made 802whp multiple times.
We've thought about it a few times to put a A/M car together but since our main focus is SR20 big horsepower its tough to dive into that market. And honestly we dont get enough support from the FWD market for us to invest our time and money into building a car.
Not to toot our horn but the 2 that you are talking about were built or sleeved by us are still running and running good as far as I know. If you can name anyone else that had a sleeved motor from us that failed, be more than glad to PM me the name and I can verify. There's alot of people that claim to have "Mazworx" sleeved blocks and usually we are the first to be thrown into the fire when something goes wrong.
If anyone is in the area, come visit the facility and we can show and tell you how everything is done. Its no secret.

As far as reusing the gaskets I dont know of one person who has managed to get a used gasket to reseal 100%.
One out of many isnt a good number to bet on.
I would like to see you guys build an all out all motor 2.4 ve and show us what we are all doing wrong.
If and or that does ever happen id have a check with ur name on it.
Until that day ill view it as not a feasible set up.
2 out of the 12 big bore big stroke motors are still kicking. I do know many of them have gone threw your hands. But I do know of a few that have and have dropped sleeves.
I hope you guys can show us what you can do.
Im sure I dont speak for myself when I said were waiting with cash in hand.
Good luck with your current builds and keep in mind what ive said in the future.
