I just replaced the cylinder head on my 92 accord DX but it now appears that I have to pull a piston and replace/service the oil rings. I've only driven the car about 250 miles since the head swap, and I'm wondering if I can reuse any of the gaskets.

I'm planning on using a new head gasket since it's pretty important... but what about the...

intake manifold (paper)
exhaust manifold (metal)
oil pan (rubber w/silicone)
valve cover

the head gasket set cost $150, and i'd rather not to replace everything if I don't have to. any thoughts?

I'd only replace the intake manifold gasket. Possibly the exhaust manifold if you separate the metal layers.
