gaskets

I will be putting on LT's this weekend and I will not use the paper gaskets that came with them. I've heard you can reuse the stock gaskets how true is that?

I got new gm gaskets just to be safe, but a lot of people do reuse the stock ones, my old ones were probably fine, but at only $15 I thought it was worth it imo.

Ive reused the stock ones many times, on many different cars, and have never had a problem.

Thanks, but just got back from the auto store and bought some new one's just to be safe. I guess if the old gaskets look good I will take the new gaskets back.

Use new GM gaskets or reuse the stockers.
