Don't reuse it. Not worth the risk.
May ask what happened that caused the head to come off?

Very nice. I can ship you a new gasket for $87 if you need one. PM me if you do.
Isn't that one of cometics claim to fame? I believe they say 5 times or something like that.
I've reused one on a turbo LS1 with copper gasket spray and didn't have any problems.

Once a head gasket has been compressed, I wouldn't reused it. They are fairly cheap, be safe and buy a new one. I always use Oem Honda head gaskets, I have heard mix things on Cometic. Just my.
Cometic does claim that they can be reused, but I agree with the above posts, it's probably not worth the $80 bucks or so you'll be saving.
I think I have that same coffe table, probably has the ball and claw feet huh?

nah mine is a full table. my girls mom got it for us a while back, only time we use it is when i put parts on it, seriously........... lol
I think I could do a better port & polish job with some sandpaper and a tooth brush, but cool lawn mower engine you have there.
yes you will be fine using it.... use some copper spray
