Unless the seals are damaged during disassembly, they may be reused. On the
12A engine I use 18 gage Teflon hook up wire for the compression seal and
reuse the water seals a number of rebuilds. A tiny bead of 100% silicone in
each groove assures success. I have not had one leak yet. (20 years so far).

Yes but Lynn, you overhaul them at least every two years.
