MLS Gaskets

Oldmanmopar said
Keep them on the same side they came off. Remove the rivets and coat all three layers with copper coat gasket spray. We did it on our engines because it was ours and never had an issue in the past. I have seen them used up to three times by racers at the track . Never reuse them if the block or head is o-ringed with inconel or copper wire. The wire tends to cut or weaken the compression ring in the gasket.

Thanks for the input! So that has worked for you?
Yes, that was my thinking to keep them on the same side and use some copper coat.
I did not think to remove the rivets.
It is not o-ringed, and not terribly high compression 10.2 although it will have a fairly high cranking pressure due to cam choice with aluminum heads.
I used arp head bolts, not studs.
