reuse head gasket on 3.4

should I use the original metal head gasket eventhough some of the black coating is chipping away on the sides of it? This is the metal intake manifold head gasket-6 holes.

If your talking about the Intake manifold steel gasket, that can be re-used, the head gasket between the cylinder head and engine block can't be re-used.

It looks like you just replaced/serviced the injectors so I assume that you mean the intake manifold gasket and not the head gasket. If this is indeed the case then most people have been reusing them.
