No, you never reuse a headgasket. You will be doing the job over again.

No. You have to get a new one.

yes you can reuse head gasket but recommended to get a new one why not? if you reuse it copper (sealant) spray it. and should hold fine.

Also make sure the new head is resurfaced, if it is not completely flat.
