When they are not torque-to-yield, yes. They went TTY sometime in the 95 model year. Those cannot be reused. They also must have washers if used on aluminum heads.

I have found several places that have the part listed for the head gaskets, but no of them actually have the gaskets.
Should i just go with Mr. Gasket 5716?

That GM number is no longer available. You can do Cometic, or Felpro, etc.

Another alternative is the Victor Reinz 5898 gasket. Its .026 thick and doesnt have the delamination problem that some people reported with the Mr gasket one. There was a issue with how it was wrapped in the plastic wrapper.

^^^Yes ignore the iron head only note. Those .026 Impala gaskets will work with aluminum heads too.
