Valve cover gasket...?

Do you have to replace the valve cover gasket after taking the valve cover off or is it reusable?Anything else that could brake or screw up while taking off the valve cover?


Thanks

I used the search couldnt find specific answers...

YES!!! You must get a new gasket or better yet, go to pepboys and get "Silicon Gasket" any you just squeeze it on and it acts as a gasket. I didnt know I couldnt reuse my gasket when I got my Polished VC and when I drove a block oil was leaking. Then when I tried to change my Spark Plugz the front 3 were stuck in and I broke 2 due to sticky dried oil, so I had to tow it to dealer and it cost $150 for them to drill out the broken ones and replace them. Take my word!
