Ok I know that this is probably stupid and I all ready know the answer, but I'm so pissed right now I don't give a fuck. So I now that after you crush a head gasket you can't reuse it. Well I don't want to spend the $20 to get a new one for the third time. So I was thinking that if I took these two gaskets that have both be used for only a couple days. Take them and double up on the headgasket, tighten everything down and hope for no leaks. Has anyone tried it at all. I have no money and really need my car running good.

cant say i would try that with the cylinder head. thats is, as u should know, a very important part. u realy need a new one! um, i would just try to use the used one because u dont wanna end up getting something over lapped and maybe getting nasty shit into the engine. i realy dont know how much a new gasket costs, but im thinkin about $70 right? hope u can work something out that will work.
