Head Gaskets????? Need quick answer So I put a set of head gaskets on the new heads, never ran the motor, but did tourqe them down all the way. Are these safe to use again????? If not, I gotta get my *** over to the chevy dealer really quick. Thanks for any input.....

I have been in that same situation, did not run the motor, but had to take it apart.
I used new head gaskets. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I think there is something sacred about torqueing the head and crushing the gasket to conform to the head?
I would buy new.
