your question is "if you can re-use the head gaskets"?

No you can't they'll leak.

Why is that a silly question if he doesn't know ?? What was the point in belittling his question? What purpose did that serve?

there are reuasble head gaskets but you pay for what you get Ive reused my felpro loc wires before but thats a diffrent story

it would also depend on how long and the condition when taken off i always plan on replacing the gaskets and spending time with gasket removing scaping and swearing for the day
