89S 350 TBI Head Gasket Replacement Project

[89Suburban]

if they are the alum type exhaust gaskets, yes I would 2nd reusing them. if they are paper you could too, but I hate the paper ones period.

They are a real thick metal covered gasket, with the dimples. I don't know what the material is on the inside of them.

them are the good ones and I've reused them before, they are great for headers as well.

yep, I seen that on the specs you had a link to, that they were threaded. A nice feature to have, especially if running a high lift cam or using guide plates. I doubt you'll need either one, but you won't have to worry about rocker studs being pulled out.
