MLS Gaskets

a point to consider is how the car is going to be used.

for a race car that sees teardowns frequently, it's fine because that is almost expected and goes part and parcel with that type of activity.

but a daily driver or a road trip machine? what's the gamble worth if you lose a gasket in BFE over a holiday weekend?

It makes no difference really what it’s used for. Street or race. The cometics will be fine. My truck has 630,000+ miles on it, most of those on boost, and the heads have been off 3 times, and retorqued twice. All on the same gaskets. I rely on it daily.
On some of the boosted LS stuff I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve pulled a head and stuck it back on with the same gasket. Same with Lima ford 2.3 turbo stuff. They will be fine.

The deck was, and I used the trick flow heads out of the box. The finish on them seemed smoother than the deck though I did not use a profilometer to check either

You’re good to go. Put em back on, torque em, heat cycle the engine and re-torque em. Done deal.
