Reuse SC Valve Cover Gasket?
Did a valve adjustment on '78SC and reassembled with the green silicon valve cover gaskets. On a warm up run prior to topping off the oil, I discovered a leack from the left lower gasket.
I took the turbo cover off to check to see if I had missing a piece of grit, or something. I saw that some portions of the silicon sealant stuck to the cover. I have several options, it seems, which are acceptable: Can the gasket be reused (the sealant flaked off in small area)? Run a bead of gasket sealant? Buy another valve gasket?

Probably no issue using the gasket as it sounds like you have not run the car for long periods of time.
Try it and see but I think you'll be fine. However, the lock nuts and washers are a different issue. Those you should replace.

New gaskets, unless you have the silicone (red) ones, IMO..
