947/951 head gasket

I removed this gasket on my ski's motor. It is metal. Can I reuse it or do I have to buy another one? It looks like it is ok. Thanks.

You will need a new one. The metal gaskets are a soft metal, and they can only be clamped once.

FYI... I like to use a light coating of copper spray on metal gaskets. It will seal it up better than a dry gasket, and it will keep the water passages from leaking.

Copper spray? Where do I get it? I have to find the gasket now also.
