hi guys

i was wondering if copper exhaust gasket manifolds are reuseable? i'm asking cuz i have one currently on my car and i gotta put back the stock exhaust manifold to get ready for smog. wanted to know if the copper will kinda stick onto the exhaust manifild when i take it off like the oem kinda exhaust gaskets or will it just be a seperate piece like before? just wanted to know to see if i gotta go and buy another gasket thanks.

Im pretty sure it would still work as long as its not warped then it should be fine. My father runs copper head gaskets on his 1000hp v-8 and all we do is just clean them off make sure they are straight and bolt them back up. Hope this helps
