oh ya. I always reuse the metal ones. 2 coats of copper spray works great after cleaning both sides of the gasket, head and manifold with a wire brush or scuff wheel. never had a problem

I think for metal gaskets, as long as there's no visible damage it should be ok

I usually replace the gasket everytime I do a rebuild.

I have reused the same gasket before when swapping out manifolds and the seal was still perfect.
