Only if they leak, wipe them off real good and reuse them.

Just be careful when you pull the covers off and make sure they aren't torn. Mine stayed on the heads when I pulled the covers off. Gentley wipe them down and wipe the surface of the cover down that touches the gasket. Toqure cover bolts to 70 in lbs. As long as the gasket isn't damaged it should seal back up. No need to use any gasket sealer. If they leak get new gaskets.
