I don't think you need a new head gasket because your car is still new and the miles you have
is when I got my cams installed to.

head doesnt come off for a cam install, but if for some reason the head does come off use a new gasket.

Do you mean valve cover gasket perhaps? In that case you can re-use that as well

Don't mess with the head gasket! It's just the valve cover gasket, I would reuse it.
