If I replace my exhaust manifold, can I reuse the oxygen sensor?

I know they use a "crush" style gasket washer ......and I was wondering if you can reuse the sensors with those gaskets and such to ensure you get a good seal on the downpipe!

Thanks!

If it was working ok, put some anti-seize on it and put it back in. It'll be fine.
(the anti-seize is in case you ever want to get it back out again.)

Yes it is fairly new....I was just worried about the crush washer and all.

Yea, the crush washer is really important for the muffler bearing preload... Just kidding, I couldnt resist.
