Hey. I've got 1 quick question. Is the valve cover gasket on the 2.2L 2200 (98+) a one-time use gasket, or one of those multiple use gaskets that can be used 2-3 times?

The valve cover doesnt see pressure, so if it still fits in the location where it sits, then you can re-use it. If you find it tries to pop out because its stretched, thats an indication it needs to be replaced.

i sell parts for a living, and honestly, every time i remove something that has a gasket, i replace the gasket. i know, i know, you can re-use them, so the company says. i've NEVER had a gasket seal right the second time being used. just buy another one, it's like $10.
