i accidently took the valley cover off today, do i needa new gasket or can i reuse the oldone. I mean that just seals splash oil and should be any pressure. I thought about putting some blue silicon on it and sticking it back ont here.
what you guys think.

How bad is the old gasket, any rips or tears that you can see? If it looks like it is in decent shape I say go ahead and reuse it. However if you have an LS1 block you may as well do the LS6 valley cover while you are at it and get a new gasket with that one.

Well depends if it is in good shape you should be able to reuse it if not I have one I'll sell you that i bought for a ls6 cover not knowing it came with one. LMK

Those things dont go bad, reuse it, dont use any RTV. Im sure the torque specs are on my site.

How exactly do you accidently remove something anyway?
