Roary the Repair Lion says:

If you do not replace the gaskets as you rebuild the engine, you might not be able to get the engine running again, or can cause a significant loss of horsepower. This will result in many hours of extra diagnosis and repair work.

Many of the gaskets are crush gaskets, so you need to replace them each time you rebuild the engine. The other gaskets are also very fine, and the smallest bend or rip will render them useless.

In a small engine, gaskets are used in many locations to improve the seal between components. They are designed to prevent the fuel air mixture from leaving the cylinder during combustion and power strokes of the piston. They are also used to keep oil from leaving the crankcase. 

Repair Tip:

Make sure the surface is clean before fitting. Lightly, being sure NOT to scratch the surface, use a razor blade to remove any residue until it feels smooth to the touch. Any scratches or residue left on the surface may damage the gasket or prevent it from making a seal.
