Is it possible to reuse headgaskets ?
Is it depend on fabrication ?
Is the only way to use new ones or ?
I need suggestions.
Any input would be very appreciated !!

Some copper head gaskets can be reused. A composition or steel shim head gasket should never be reused.

No, don't reuse them. its not worth your time or effort. you have it apart, put a new one on, and you won't have to worry about it. JMO
