Header Gaskets, can i reuse? I got pacesetters for my ls1, got the stock stuff out and now putting em in tomorrow. I am not gonna use their paper ones. The ones that came off my car look pretty good just a tiny bit of rust here and there but both sides came off in 2 layers. Is it fine to just put the two layers back on and reuse the gasket or will i have problems? Also, if i want to buy some, what is the best place to buy them without having to order and how much do they run?
It's up to you to reuse them or not. I reused mine with no problems and they weren't in the best of shape. The stealership sells them for like $14 and should have them in stock, as I think they are used on all the LSx manifolds.

You should be able to reuse them, especially if they are still in one peice 
But like TheBlur said they are only about $12 (each) at any GM dealer. Just call em first, I think they had about 11 in stock when I got mine.
