Quick question. I need to pull my lower plenum off my engine to do some lower intake work. Can I reuse the Motordyne lower thermal plenum gasket? It's the one that goes between the lower plenum and the lower intake. It's the thermal one that motordyne sale in a kit along with their 5/16" spacer set. And the built in spacer gasket, I assume that one is ok to reuse?
Anyway these have only been on for a month, and replacement Motordyne gaskets are pretty pricey if I don't need them.
So replace the lower gasket or reuse?

you should be able to i dont see why not, i would wipe the old coat of oil and put a new thin coat on it though to ensure a good seal.

Motordyne says it needs a thin coat of oil. Strange, but the instructions say to do it. I assume it helps it swell to seal good.
