Default flht engine chrome pkg

just doing the last of my chrome engine covers..all the rest was easy and the rocker boxs seem fairly simple as well..my question would be can i reuse gaskets as its only got about 40 miles on it and when reinstalling the rocker supports is it absolutely necessary to find top dead centre and base line the cams? or can i just place the rocker support assy on top of the push rods and valves and gently snug it down a bit at a time on each corner? or do i risk bending pushrods or??
