I agree with chad If its not torn up reuse it are you sure it was not leaking from the work the shop did? Also remember there is a mis conseption out there about retorqueing. You back the nut off then retorque Dont try to torque it from the 65 to 70 you had first. You are likely to snap a head bolt off that way. What I was saying before is a mechanic that ran a parts plus told me that if the gasket is steel on steel or what ever its made of its just like a new car you dont pull the valve covers off a new vehicle to retorque them do you. I have never retorqued one since.There is nothing wrong with doing it its just a pain to remove the valve train and re adjust the tappets. There are some out there that say sealer and retorque required I would do it then for waranty reasons.
GOOD LUCK JON
