Can I reuse gaskets?

[01OhioAlero]

I got my new lower intake, but I dont have money for new bolts or gaskets. Can I reuse em safely?

[mfuller]

I wouldn't recommend it.
Save up for new gaskets and bolts.
Do it right the first time.

Only if it was an all metal gasket you can as long as you dont bend em. But yeah what matt said. Get new.

[Redog]

No.

You bought the manifold and are now broke to get the gaskets?:badidea: Just going have to wait, I guess

Although I only heard of replacing head bolts, not manifold bolts :huh:

Most gasket sets come with the four lower intake bolts with thread lock already on them.

I would get new gaskets and bolts, that way your not doing the same job in a month.

you guys are all about those Felpro gaskets just because they're metal. Personally I'd rather have a part that fits right and lasts more than a month or two, even if it is plastic. We've used AC Delco gaskets on every engine we build here, even with 26+ psi of boost. They always work, and I don't have cars come back needing gaskets again.
