Reuse cam carrier gasket? (never heat cycled)

[series8217]

I put together my motor with brand new gaskets and have to take one cam carrier off now to swap around the cams I mixed up.
The engine obviously has never ran so it hasn't warmed up and cooled down ever. The gasket has just been clamped between the cam carrier and head.
Can I safely reuse this gasket as long as it is not torn, etc?

Ive reused gaskets that were old, so you really shouldn't have any problems. Given their expense, i always check mine and have used silicone as well on mine since I tend to swap the heads off at least once a year.
