    I think that I might have an intake manifold leak, is it possible to reuse the intake gasket, its one of the new ones from TA or do I have to buy another one? I know the service manual says to replace it but I just want to make sure so that I dont spend $20 or so I dont need to.
    Thanks

    this would be and opinion question... I'd say re-use it... if it is the metal type of course.... just be carefull when yoo take it out. and inspect the metal raised parts, that is what actually seals... since you are supposed to use selant aroung all of the parts, you should be good reusing it...
    if it is compsite type, I'd replace it...

    Hmmm, spend 20 bucks on insurance and piece of mind, or throw the old turkey pan back in and hope it works...:Smarty:



    Or you could do this...:Dou::Dou: :Dou::Dou:
