reuse intake manifold gaket

I know ill get yelled at but what the heck, Replaced an intake gasket a month and a half ago, could i get away with reusing the 2 pieces that go in the valley? i have gaskets for the front and back (dont know how)

I pan on using a different intake, im only guessing i should get a new gasket. Theirs 15 bucks ill never see again

 

ive never used them myself.... always used a bead of sealer instead

 

DO NOT reuse the intake gaskets!!! Cant stress it any harder...Replace em or you will have vacuum leaks forceing you to do it all over again...
As for the end gaskets...Just use grey or black RTV...

 

The speed shop that built my 393 also used the sealer instead of the rubber gaskets.

 

Should i just use black rtv? or am i bound to have leaks at my skill level (3 out of 5)

 

Intake Gasket

I agree w\ the folks who say don't reuse; for the small price it's not worth the grief of having to do dbl work. JMO

 

I use Pematex for the ends. Be sure to use sealer around both sides of the water ports or you will have a H2O leak.
