can I use new hard gasket if it was torqued down????

[blueblooded]

So I noticed after I torqued my new head gasket down that I forgot to install the steel bushings that locate the head on the cylinders.I had to take the head off to insert bushings then retorqued head using same head gasket.Sled was never fired....is it ok to retorqued/reuse this head gasket or should I order a new one???? This is a viper 700....three piece head gasket....fiber metal fiber.

yes, if you use copper gasket spray, I have reused up around 20 removals. New gaskets are overrated
