Some of you may recall that I replaced a blown headgasket last month(Thanks Ted!). When I had it all back together, it started right up(that's my baby!), and went right to a normal fast idle. Bunch of white smoke coming out of the exhaust however so I shut 'er down after 2-3 minutes. Oil looked fine. coolant looked fine. Top of the engine was just starting to get warm but the thermostat had not yet opened(That's why I initially thought I had installed it backwards). I restart and again, it starts right up. Not as much smoke this time so I figured that there was old coolant in the exhaust getting burned off. Within a minute or so the engine starts to slow to the normal idle but then went a tad lower(to about 500-600rpm). I tried giving it a bit of throttle and it stalled. Now it would not restart(same symptom as last fall when the original headgasket blew). Since all of this seemed familar I pulled the intake crossover tube and sure enough, coolant poured out.
So I disassemble down to the block(head back on the bench). Gasket looks fine. I took the head to a local machine shop to get checked for cracks. He called me this afternoon to say that it checked out ok. He is going to freshen up the mating surfaces and I pick it up tomorrow morning.

My questions are:

Can I reuse Engnbldr's headgasket? It did delaminate partially at the front end by the TC passage but otherwise looks fine. Ted, if you want, I'll send you photos to help make this decision. And if I do need another headgasket, can I buy just that from you without having to buy the whole kit again?

Since the head isn't cracked and the gasket is obviously(hopefully) good(NEVER ASSUME!), what other way can coolant get into the intake runners(all four had puddles) and cylinders??
While I haven't done it yet(first on my list tomorrow), I will drain the new oil and check veery carefully for signs of coolant.

Your thoughts and expert opinions are appreciated.
