Re-using FelPro metal LIM gasket?

[Forscythe87]

I need to apply RTV as I didnt use enough on the ridges and am loosing a couple drops of oil a day.

Just curious if its safe to use the same metal gasket after its been torqued to spec?

I wouldn't recommend it.

All that work to do over just to install a dollars worth of silicone, I hate when that happens, Been there.

Get the new gaskets so you don't have to do it a 3rd time.

yeah it sucks but I like spending time working on my car (when I have time that is).

I read to use a lot of RTV but still didn't use enough. I know exactly where its leaking oil and funny enough I just needed a little dab more (tube ran out). Ah well, hopefully the experience will do me well.
