Default L92 head gasket reuseable?

So ive got to tear my motor apart and put new rings in it after ~70 miles, it was running waaaay too rich at first and i believe it washed the rings out

anyhow, can i reuse my L92 gaskets or do they need replaced?

i think general consensus is replace them if youve fired the motor/gotten it up to temp. head gaskets and head bolts

You can reuse the MLS head gaskets, but it is recommend to replace them. I have reused them before with no problem though....make sure they are not tore or dented anywhere, clean them very good with dome paint thinner and a the to get all of the black costing off of them and then spray them with a few good coats of copper spray.
