dont be cheap...just buy a new one! its most likely gonna be damaged...dont risk it...but if u reuse it..after ur done..take starting fluid and spray it around the gasket with the engine running...if it revs up..u have a leak

I saw an old friend of mine re-use his intake gasket about 4 seperate times over a year at least, BUT I never did because the gasket wasn't too much and I didn't feel like taking the chance of doing the job twice.

i've been through 2 gaskets and my upper has been off at least 10 times. it is pretty durable, but sometimes you can crack if if you're careless. even if you damage it, just put a dab of sealant on it
