You can use them again if you are confident that your head and block are completely flat. If you are not totally confident that your head and block are flat I would just buy a new one just to be safe. How much $ is your time worth? It might be ok, and it might not? Do you want to pull the head again if it isn't? Chances are it will be just fine but you never can know for sure.

I have heard of people using them over and over again with no problems and then you hear of people swearing against it. Who is right?

If it were me I would just get a new one just to be safe.
