Can I use this Gasket?

(1/4) > >>

SeanFD:
I just opened my Verseh gasket set from DSS, to discover the head gasket was rusted.

The rust, especially on the lower rings can be felt with my finger and scraping it with my fingernail doesn’t remove it, so it’s quite deep.

Can I use it as is? Should I clean the rust using scotchbrite, or similar? Or ask for a replacement?

Nurse Julie:
Ask for a replacement.

SeanFD:
Thanks Julie,

That was my gut feeling, even if only because, “it shouldn’t be like that“.

Indeed. It doesn't look in the best of nick at all. Very unusual for a Vesrah gasket to be substandard but I suppose it depends on how it has been stored. Was the packet open at all anywhere that you noticed?

Johnny4428:
Looks like there’s been moisture trapped within the packaging! I definitely would try for replacement too. Wonder if these normally have a light oiling.
