no you can use it again, I have before, just clean both the block and the oil pan and then use silicone on both sides of the gasket (which is teh windage plate) and u will be fine

Yeah but remember too rich is just as bad as too lean, becuase u can have cylnder wash which will wash the oil of the cylinder walls and mess up the rings. TOo lean is where u will make mopre power, but either too le...
