351 intake gaskets

If you were to change your intake manifold would you replace the intake gaskets or try and reuse them??

[Rick Parker]

You should NEVER reuse a gasket.

I agree with Rick, I have tried to be frugle a time or two over the years and it ALWAYS came back to bite me, now I only use NEW gaskets and "O" rings. just my .02 worth.

I guess I need to order some new gaskets then before I do this. Problem is they are ford racing gaskets so I guess I am heading over to summit.

I used the Felpro gaskets first but they are very flimsy and collapsed on me. I tried the Victor Reinz gaskets next and they're perfect. I don't remember where I bought them, but if you have big intake ports the part # is 95108SG (AFR 205 heads and Victor Jr. intake)

Definitely replace them but don't use fail pro

Definitely not.. I had a set of those fail on me and fill the motor with coolant once.. Never again..

I've been suing Fel-pro for decades on all kinds of vehicles. Never had a gasket fail yet.
