loc wire head gasket question

i have o-ringed heads and i just put them on the motor a few weeks ago and i have a new set of heads and my question is can i reuse the loc wire head gaskets if they have been torqued on the heads already but the motor has never ran?

thanks!

A #1 rule of mine is never reuse any gaskets of any sort..These are copper gaskets correct if so then its a definite big no no.. The only thing that can be reused is Rubber Seals! =) [patriot]
