Default Valley Cover Gasket

During my down time this winter I was planning on switching to the LS6 Valley/PCV System, but after some thought I decided to run a catch can setup, my only issue being that my current Valley Cover gasket separted from the Valley Cover itself, can I use some RTV and use the to ensure the gasket sticks to the valley or is the valley gasket re-usable?
The GM part # is 12558178 just for reference purposes, that way there is no confusion.
Thanks guys

If the oring is coming off the metal band no do not use it. I would not try rtv either. Save yourself a headache and get a new valley gasket.

I will be buying a new gasket for my LS6 valley I will be installing. It's usually a good idea to spend a few bucks to have piece of mind that it won't leak.
