Default Quick question: Are oil pan gaskets reuseable?

Just like the title says, i just want a straight yes or no answer. I took my gasket off so i could do some welding im wondering if it would leak if i put it back on. Thanks.

Yep. I always have one laying around when I pull the pan just incase the old one is bad. Sucks to be stuck without one.

i have also reused oil pan gaskets without problems just makes sure they are clean and seated properly when you reinstall them.

Reusable? Yes.
Guarenteed not to leak? No.

Just for insurance i would go ahead and put a new one.

My thoughts exactly and the gasket is pretty cheap anyways. You just never know.
