Default stock head gaskets

I have a 2001 Camaro SS with 70k miles. Pulled the head gaskets off and they are in really good shape (At least they look like it) can I reuse these? They are still in one piece, and fully intact. Or do you ALWAYS have to replace head gaskets when removing heads?

Yes, you need to replace them, they can only be used once.

Always replace! Once they have been compressed, it is time to replace if you take them off. Call the guys at SDPC or order online at SDPC2000.com
