I would ASSUME they are re usable?
I am all for keeping our cars fresh and long lasting, but I also feel many parts just dont wear out?...
Those are ok to reuse. It's the rubber seal on the cap nut that typically need replacement.

They don't__OR SHOULDN'T__get tightened so much as to deform the washer.
The rubber grommet/seals harden over time, and expecting them to reseal under those conditions would be a risk. On a customer's car, they are always replaced with the head cover gskt. On my own cars, if they're still soft and pliable, I'll reuse them__same goes for the gasket itself (but I put a limit of 2X, because after that, it's too much trouble to remove the sealant from the corners of the half-moons).
thnx fellas.......!!
its all orig on the car now.....18 yrs.....Im hoping the washers are NOT deformed from the factory
I had seen vcg "KITS" for sale.....but I really dont want to buy a kit if its not needed.
I replaced all of them when I put a new VCG.
Mine were not soft as expected, so I decided to replace with brand new ones.
