A metal gasket "foul" up? It is just a thin sheet of metal, there is nothing that can go wrong, unless it had a major crack or was badly bent or warped. Reusing it won't do any damage.

a gasket fills the inperfections between the metal surfaces by bending against them so when you use the gasket for the first time it kinda "prints" itself to both surfaces and block any leaks.

by using the gasket for so long and beeing heated and compressed for long time it looses some of its flexability and the "print" effect so when you take it off it won't block leaks as good as it used to do when it was brand new.
