Yes...
I can usually reuse mine 4-5 times without problems. Sometimes they magically seem to swell up a bit and don't want to fit back into the groove in the valvecover, so I just install a new one.

yep.....used mine several times......
when they get oil on them, they swell up and make it hard to put them back in the grove (have to work them in a little bit at a time). Even new ones are hard to install thought (they are made a little over size).
