I need some advise. I ordered a gasket set with the fix kit and they sent the wrong gasket for the head cover. If there doesn't appear to be any damage to the head cover gasket, can i reuse it?

I would. Done it more than once!

thanks! i got the sled back together and fired on the first pull. no leaks after the first heat cycle.
Head gasket (between the bottom end and cylinders) or the gasket between the head and the cylinders?
The bottom end one which I think is technically the head gasket I would not re-use. The on the head can be reused but as you said, make sure it does not leak.

it's just the gasket that seals the head cover to the head. the one that goes between the monoblock and the head is brand new. finished the 3rd heat cycle and all seems well. i just need to find a better way to burp the cooling system. the temp sensor is jumping up and down +/- 4 degrees pretty regularly on warm up.
