You can re-use a standard head gasket as well if you want .But would you take the chance of putting it altogether to find it fooked after **Miles.After all there made to be crushed Once they've been crushed once you cant recrush them. I would change it for peace of mind mate.

I got told WRC could be used 3 times... whatever. I guess the comment by 3drstretch could apply to any gasket to some extent - in a perfect world you would probably use a new WRC gasket every time... just to be on the safe side.

Whatever
