I am rebuilding two Chevrolet marine engines. I have the heads on but found a problem that causes me to have to remove the heads. The engines are in the building phase and have not been started.
What is the opinion on reusing the head gaskets? They would be installed in the exact side they came from with the same head for each side. I am afraid to trust them to hold up but they cost $45 each and I will need 4 of them to complete what I need to do. That is a lot of money for someone that doesn't have it to spare.
They are FelPro 17030. They look perfect but have already been crushed.

Thanks for any information.
