TR3 Head gasket Reuse?

["Smith, Brian" <brian_s@deq.state.la.us>]

List,
I'm currently correcting "shortcuts" I took when I built The  TR3's
engine ASprox 10 yrs ago. (I was younger and more foolish then).  The
Engine has never been runand I'd like to replace the generic nuts I used
to bolt down the head.  Can I reuse the copper head gasket that is now
on the engine or should I replace.  I'd rather not have to buy a new
gasket...so I could spend those funds on something else.
