I've done it a few times, one was a race engine that had less than 2 hours run time when it destroyed a lifter, metal particles were everywhere so we pulled it part to clean everything and replace the scratched up bearings, while reassembling it one night before a race we realized we had forgot to pick up new gaskets, so we put it together with the old ones, the head gaskets were Felpro and we sprayed some sealer on them and didn't have any issues
The other two were fresh engines, one had a carburetor nut dropped into the intake, it rolled thru a open valve and dropped onto a piston, we pulled the head, removed the nut and bolted the head back on using the same head gasket.
The last was my 5.9 Cummins, we had the head torqued down when I remembered we hadn't checked piston parturition so we had to pull the head back off, The block has been milled so a .010 thicker head gasket was required, that head gasket had cost $165 so we sprayed some copper coat on it and reinstalled it, still holding today.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
