Ok so I was putting together an LM7 and forgot to install the lifters and treys before I installed and torqued down the heads. I understand I now need to buy new head bolts cause they arent reusable, but is it ok to still use the MLS head gaskets?? (PN; 12589227) Ive heard both yes and no. The engine hasnt been fired or even turned over at all. Just want to make sure the head gaskets can be used still.
Thanks

If the engine hasn't been fired you can reuse it. Compressing the MLS doesn't ruin it like a graphite gasket.
