Do I need any special tools to install the gasket?

No special tools are required beyond standard socket and torque wrenches. Follow the torque specifications in the service manual for the valve cover bolts.

Can I reuse the old gasket if it appears undamaged?

How does the shock‑resistant feature benefit my engine?
