Last I checked, BS used gaskets that are pretty guaranteed
to be single use. But, who can tell. Maybe the quality has
improved?

For the slightly-larger B+S engines, checking the torque on
the head
bolts is part of the routine maintenance; they do sometimes
loosen up.
They're really heavy-duty gaskets and, as far as I can tell,
designed to
be re-usable - you can take the head off to inspect
everything, clean up,
and put the same gasket back on again. Unless, perhaps,
someone's gooped
it up with sealer ;-)
