Are Titan MHG's reusable?

Ok. One more question....How much are we allowed to take off the head? Right now there's .011 off from the first time. I want to get in machined again because the other head gasket I initially put in what looks like "teeth" marks on the surface.....so I'm thinking better safe than sorry? Btw I bought the 1.4mm Titan Gasket and I already have .006mm off the block/rear time cover. Just figured I'd give more info. Also I chased the block threads with just one of my old head bolts. Is that ok or do I need a tap? And what should I use as far as lube goes for the bolts? Just motor oil? The stuff that came with my ARP bolts we used the first time. The instructions also say to torque to 90ft pounds.
