Most MLS gaskets can be re-used. But if the black coating has come off, I wouldnt do it.
And I would only consider it on a very low stressed engine, and as an absolute last resort.
or for an engine that hasnt actually been run.

I ran mine for a maybe 5,000 miles. And after tearing the engine down recently, the black coating is missing between some of the cylinder walls. I would feel somewhat comfortable reusing this set, only on an NA application though.
I decided to pick up a set of L92 gaskets to use instead.
