Reuse Head Gasket??

blackace said
I was just about done putting my engine together and went to go paint it and screwed a plug in one of the plug holes of on the set of 302 heads and found it it was cross threaded. I took the head to the machine shop now the question is can I resue the head gasket or do I have to buy a new one. The engine was never started but the heads were torqued down.

Not 100% sure blackace, but if torqued down I would...better to be save. I know I would...Just the thought of ripping it "all" down again "sickning"
