Reuse new intake manifold gasket? Yay or nay?
Hey there,

I just installed and torqued to specs intake manifold gasket but upon installing swirl motor I discovered that passenger side manifold runner has some restrictions. Driver side runs smoothly. I didn't notice that difference before installing.
I cleaned up the runner rod as much as I could and seems to be moving better than before but still not as smooth as the other one.
So question - if I pull the intake off can I reuse the same gasket or not?
Thanks

Now just one GL450 with EORP.
Nope, that’s false economy- a new set is $10.

Bit more in Canada but still. It wasn't the economy question rather if it's OK?
anyways got the new ones installed today so no longer a question
