Hey guys,

I just finished putting back together the upper intake plenum with a new gasket and in my infinite wisdom i forgot to put the coil packs back in. So now I have to take it back apart and put it back together.

This being said the gasket is new can I reuse it? or do I have to buy a new one now?

 

I'd go for it....have been there before and it works fine

 

x2...just reuse, no big deal

 

Thanks for the advise, I am glad I can reuse it since I can't get one till Tuesday and want to keep working on this thing.

Very fast response!

 

IMO if it was new and assembled once just re-use it but if a couple of years old after use just bin it.

 

Fresh gasket, engine never even turned on.

 

I did something similar, but I am a firm believer in the copper spray gasket sealer, which i used and have had no issues.

 

In that case if it were me I'd defo reuse the new gasket.

 

The upper intake is metal, flip it over and reuse it

 

You can't flip it over its not symmetrical and doesn't line up with dowels. Needless to say I am going to re-use the gasket.

Thanks for all the advise guys, car closed!
