Are the Exhaust Manifold Gasket re-useable?

Like the title states are the Exhaust Manifold gaskets reuseable or should they be replaced if the exhaust manifolds are ever removed?

Thanks, J

If you're talking the layered metal factory ones I have re-used them a couple of times and no leaks at all.

I dont know what they look like yet since they are still on the truck. I am talking about the exhaust manifold gaskets. I know in some cars they are reusable so I am hoping its hte same for our trucks.

I am trying to figure out what I need to buy in order to pull the motor out and drop in the new shortblock.

Thanks for oyur help
