On the threads, use Permatex High Temperature Thread Sealant, Permatex# 59214.

On reusing the gasket, no. Once used it has been compressed and carries in its surface all the microscopic imperfections of the head and block. You can't see them, but compressed gasses know exactly where they are and how to turn them into an exit.
