Reusing Gaskets?
so i currently have a stock internal ls1 with the ls1 intake... i found some good deals on heads (ls6 springs ported and polished 853 for under 400shipped)
my headers are less than 2 years old with felpro gaskets, and my intake is still stock ie stock gaskets
so my question is, if i only bought GM head bolts and head gaskets, would i be able to sneak by reusing the header gaskets and RTV the intake until i do an LS6 intake down the road?

I am a big fan of ALWAYS replacing gaskets. You have it torn apart already mine as well do it while you are there.
What happnes you put it all back together and you re used your already crused intake gaskets and now you are running lean b/c of a vacuum leak. Now you have to take it all back aprt again.
Just replace them
