Default Can I reuse the gasket under the valley cover?

I'm polishing the whole engine bay. I took the plate under the intake off to polish since part of it is visible. Can I reuse the gasket or is it a must replace item? It doesn't look cheap. I'd like to save that money if possible.

As with most gaskets in the LSX motor, as long as it is in good shape you can reuse it.
