I always use black RTV on the intake and cylinder head surfaces to seal the valley pan on my 440. The last one I removed looked like new. Is it safe to reuse them assuming I cleanup any of the old RTV and apply a new coating? Wasn't sure if they crush down during torquing making them a one and done part.
