I wouoldn't use one in the first place, let alone RE-use it!!

I'm still running OE Ford (Payen) on mine, as most of the big power RST's are. If you've had OE gaskets let you down then it will be for another reason, not the gasket.

I had problems with the Felpro gaskets years ago it looked like it overhung the bore when it went, it burnt out between the cylinders and fucked the head and block.

That's an excellent comparison.
You could rinse it out, but as you say, I wouldn't want to bet my balls on it.
