Default New valley cover gasket necessary with FAST swap?

Given that you are changing to a button head bolt from the stock fasteners, is it necessary to replace the valley cover gasket?

I apologize if this is a duplicate from a previous thread. I did search and found nothing on the topic.

Why not just do it as preventative maintenance. Is it not worth ten minutes now for peace of mind later
