Default Exhaust gasket
I need to remove my exhaust manifold. The engine has idled some and been driven about 5 miles since it was first started with the new gasket. Could I be able to reuse this gasket or do I need to get a new one?

Thanks,

If it stays in one piece when disassembled, you should be able to reuse it.

If it's the stock metal gasket you should be fine.
