Z06 Lid Gaskets

When you remove lid, can you put lid back on with same gaskets installed?

The lid on top of the supercharger. I have read conflicting posts. Some say they are reusable.

As long as they're not damaged and remain installed or reinstall correctly, YES. I've had my lids on/off a number of times, reusing the OEM gaskets.

It depends on how long the gasket has been in place and compressed. My experience with reusing the gasket ended with the seal around the lid leaking slightly and pushing oil past the gasket that ran down the side of the SC. The gasket part number is 12642744 and it is available from Amazon for $50. Your local dealership may sell it for less if you ask them for their best price after they tell you the list price shown on their computer. I find it is best to do this in person Vs over the phone.
