Default Idiot dealer sent me wrong oil pump o-ring, can i reuse?
Hey guys, its saturday night, its getting late, and im buttoning my car back together. I was getting ready to put my new oil pump on, BUT THE DAMN DEALER SENT ME AN EGR TUBE GASKET AND NOT AND OIL PUMP GASKET. However, my stock one is in like-new condition. Its still plenty squishy, its really clean, and there are no cracks in it. Is reusing it a bad thing? Thanks!

I've had cams in and out three times now and went back with the same O-ring. If it's in good shape it should be fine.
