    Unhappy Replace head gaskets or not?

    I torqued down the head gaskets with ARP ultra-torque and in my haste and excitement I forgot to apply thread sealer. Do I need to replace them or can I salvage them when I redo the ARP bolts? I have Mr. Gasket 0.026" gaskets on. The engine is still on the stand. Thanx.
