I had the heads off my S4rs and now I'm ready to put em back on. Can I re-use the old head gaskets with some sealer or do I need to use new ones? To be clear, the old ones weren't leaking....

Don't re-use those head gaskets.

DarkDuc,
What's the reason for the removal of the heads in the first place?

It's really best to not re-use a head gasket. You'll simply never get it to seat quite right.
