Unfortunately I can't believe everything that I read, because it doesn't
produce viable results. I have tried retorqing MLS gaskets on several types
of engines, some nitrile, some viton (so they say), and once they are
squished, they are done. You will not achieve the proper seal, even if you
tried to replace head bolts on a head that has not been removed with a MLS
gasket, one at a time. I have tried it, it does not work, you will get a
compression leak somwhere eventually. You will end up buying a new gasket
and starting over.
Go ahead and try it. As I hinted, it's your money. Maybe you have the cape
that I can't find.
Cheers,
Chris

Viton, Nitrile, whatever you want. MLS head gaskets are NOT meant to be
reused, and none are designed to be.

Quoting from Denis Welch's catalogue page on the steel head gasket:
"This gasket may also be used up to three times."
