Yes, if it has been torqued down I wouldn't test it.

I wouldn't risk it, you can get a set of new GM gaskets for 40$ from Scoggin Dickey (SDPC)-------------------------------------------->

I would never re-use a head gasket. IMHO

If the car has been running for any amount of time on a original head gasket it needs replaced. You'll see part of the gasket will stick to the head part will stick to the block. You'll have to clean both surfaces before reinstalling the head. If you get a multi layer gasket like cometics you can remove the head and reuse the gasket, but there pricy.
