I've reused them with no issue. But all my stuff is perfectly flat. And lapped together. So I get away with more. I ran 3 used gaskets stacked together once.

I have reused mine on occasion but never after running it for a while, but probably could have on a few occasions.
Pmcg:
Thanks guys! I lapped the head and obviously didn't run the motor as it was leaking like crazy. I think ill reuse it. I would imagine the leak down test would also show if there were issues with the head gasket.

How can a KIPS center valve cause a vacuum/pressure leak?
