i would replace them. any auto parts store will have them, there about $20. i resued my gaskets from a 110k mile setup and they worked, but after i pulled the intake later on, i replaced them. i would just change them for what they cost

Also, i would recommend putting some loctite on the little screws on the underside of the intake. i had 5 of them come out within 3k miles of driving and ended up with a intake leak. just another suggestion so you dont have the same problems i had.

If your taking off your intake why wouldn't you replace the gaskets would be a better question. Your gonna risk having vacuum leaks and doing the job twice because of a gasket? Just buy yourself a set and don't worry about the leaks etc.
