I overheard a couple people talking about a 2010 Impreza, and the one guy was absolutely convinced that you can reuse MLS head gaskets if they have less than 3000 miles on them. What do you guys think? Me personally, I think they are crazy. For a little more context though, the one guy is a very firm believer in, you can especially reuse them if you use the copper gasket spray, as long as it's before the engines first oil change.

Nope. Disagree! Before first oil change or not, they’re squashed and had a heat cycle. 

You *might* get away with reusing them if you have to pull the head again during reassembly, realistically though, for all that work would you really want to risk reusing a head gasket only to have it fail prematurely? 

Some might have a crack at it. I won’t be though.
