      Ok I was thinking the same but wasn't 100% sure since they looked like well built gaskets. Ok thanks!

          It's not recommended. I have in a tight spot but you have a higher chance of leaks.

            I had my intake all nice and tight with fresh gaskets on the engine stand. decided to remove intake for motor install and re-used the gaskets. done a smoke test and they dont leak. probaby only because they were only torqued for a week, but it worked out for me.

              I used gasket paper to make one. Doesn't leak :)

                  I would replace them, they are cheap. Waiting for them in the mail is annoying though :(

                  Did you only replace the injectors? If so, you don't have to pull the intake mani. You just have to maneuver the fuel rail around a few things! If not, please disregard this ;)
