Exhaust manifold gasket

[DDakRT]

I'm going to have my exhaust manifold off soon, I know there's a metal gasket in there. Will I need new gaskets? I don't think the manifolds had been off before, so the gaskets had been on for 10 years and about 100k.

Still reuseable?

If they look good, reuse them. I reused mine on my 92. The motor is of an unknown milage out of an 89. I am yet to have any leaks.

Yes, in most (almost all) cases they can be re-used.

 

[SHO--ripper]

I sell them new for $10. I'd say cheap insurance

FWIW, I have two sets of new gaskets and still opted to reuse mine

They're almost infinitely reuseable. They're just multi-layer metal shims.
