The gasket you have "would" probably be good....Were it me, a "new" gasket has more "modern" technology built into it SO the ability to perform (in my mind) would also be better IMO the cost is "cheap" insurance. I used a copper coat spray on mine before I put it back together!!! I also anti seized the studs and the tops of the head stud holes to help the next shlepp like me who work on it to hopefully make pulling the heads easier than what I had!!!
