Default oil pan gasket question

i am currently rebuilding my ls1. i noticed when i took the oil pan off, the gasket has 2 pop rivets in it, so my question is, since it looks to be like a metal gasket, is it resuable or do i need to get a new one. sorry if this is a stupid question. thanks.

I would replace it, if it were me. You can rip the gasket off, break off the tops of the rivets and knock them out. It's a little cleaner than drilling, FWIW.
