They should be fine to reuse if they're that young. You could reuse them after 10 years if they were still soft and smooth.

Try to get the old rtv cleaned off so you get a good seal when you put them back in. I usually don't have much so I just peel it.

Luckly i didnt have to use any. Any ints on how to get the breather tube back into the V/C without effing it up? I just pushed it as far as i could and it leaks a little.

You mean the hose from the valve cover to the intake near the throttle body? I replaced those factory things with little hose clamps you have to torque (like the larger ones on the intake). Also, it looks like you routed that hose underneath and up through the intake manifold rather than under/around it, which is where it's easier to play with.

Yup, i routed it up and around, mainly cause when i had Bought Them, the New Powdercoated ones didn't come with the metal "insert" on the V/C, so i used plyers and bent the crap out of it getting it out of my other V/C. so it worked better going up lol.
