My LS9 gaskets have about 500 miles on them and I might be pulling a head or two soon. Can they be reused? I installed them dry, no copper spray. Since they are MLS I can't really see them "wearing out" but I could be mistaken.

I'm with Jfg429. Just installed my LS9 head gaskets a couple days ago and the motor won't be ready to start for awhile because I have no transmission but I got some cylinder head dowels in from BTR that I should probly install... Am I able to reuse my LS9 head gaskets? Or should I not even worry about the dowels since I have ARP head studs?

I reuse them all the time with low millage like that, I just clean them real well with alcohol without disturbing the coating.

Thanks for the info guys! I'll pull the heads this weekend and put in the dowels and just reuse my gaskets
