Ok i accidently went out of control and crashed into a pond the bike was fully sinken took it out cleaned her all up new oils and it would not turn over was impossible so i than undid the head and to find the piston area was full of water so i kick started it a few times to get the piston moveing so it would get the water out i got it all out, i than did put the gasket and head back on did not use a torque wrench as i thought it would not be needed as i did not know the torque settings i tightened bolts right up bike started goes good my main concern is should i not worry about it or buy a new gasket and get correct torque settings?????
 
You should never re-use a gasket, there cheap. Get a new head gasket and get the torque specs and make sure all the bolts are within spec, Having the right torque is VERY important.
