NEVER!!!!!!!

Gaskets seal by compressing between the two surfaces. Once the gasket has been compressed once, it will not longer compress and you'll get leaks.

Some neoprene gaskets can be reused if they're still pliable, but for paper or metal gaskets, you need to replace them. If the Porsche gaskets are better, buy a new set of those and use them.
