You should be able to reuse the gasket without issue due to the fact theres only a small amount of torque to the cover bolts. I'd recommend prepping both surfaces (prolly channel grooved gasket) with alcohol AND have a tube of RTV silicone on-hand to 'aid' in sealing every here-n-there (should it be needed). Just be sure to pay attention to the gasket on removal for any signs of RTV.
