MANY of the metal seals and springs can be reused. There is a good chance at 55k miles, they are all in spec. Don't think anyone recommends reusing apex seals, even if they are in spec though. Obviously, replace all the rubber o-rings, coolant seals and gaskets. It shouldn't kill your bank account.

If I were on a tight budget, I would just check clearances on all your hard seals and if they are within spec you could reuse them no problem. Just make sure you put them where they were when you took them out. But definately replace all the soft seals, inside and out.
