Default Plenum gasket?

I have a motordyne 5/16th Plenum spacer and need to remove my Plenum to reach a sensor that has gone bad. Do I need a new motordyne gasket, or can I just get any regular gasket from an auto store? Can I just reuse the same one? If I reuse it what precautions should I take against leakage?

Thanks, no magic sealent paste or anything to ensure against leakage either? Lol. Read some random Google crap about reusing gaskets.

Agree.

Old gaskets are OK unless they leak. If so you need a new gasket. I would rather do it right once but thats just me.
