i have this gasket its metal i was wondering if it being metal can it be reused

 

yes, just wipe it off and put it back on.

 

hm thats weird, if i remember correctly the LIM aren't metal.. and i wouldn't reuse it.. if it doesn't seal correctly your gong to have to go through all the trouble of pulling the manifolds and stuff it's worth the $7 to pick up another one in my opinion.. it's not worth the trouble you could possibly go through. Also if you have a Turbo model don't forget your going to need two O rings.

 

replacement s5 NA LIM gaskets are metal...none of the other models. Originals were paper. Dont ask me why they only picked the s5 NA to make in metal (along with the FD's).

 

its three peices of metal an they separated i dont know wether to reuse it or not but i'm broke an this is my only car

 

As long as the 2 little rivets in the center are holding them together it is fine. They are not supposed to be glued together or anything. When you bolt down the manifold it pushes them together firmly for a good seal.

 

s5 n/a gasket is also $27 not $7 so if it is in good condition...
