I had a NOS equiped BB boat engine torch an ex valve and we fixed the seat, put in a new valve and touched the intake valve & seat then put the head back on with the same gasket. This happened in qualifying and he made the race the next day. I'm sure any other type of gasket would have been toast. I had a 540 Blown gas engine on the dyno and pulled the heads 3 times to work on them and reused the same gaskets. They are good.
