Best tell us what engine it is on and what the head gasket is made of.

I know the old copper clad head gaskets of yesteryear have been re-used. but it you are thinking something modern with higher compression, the answer is probably no.

For instance, the old metal clad head gaskets on small engines probably would work fine. I've re-used them on flathead Briggs and Kohlers, but most modern small engine head gaskets have the metal in the middle with a fiber/teflon like outer layer on both sides. These usually tear all apart when removed.
