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?

 

The intake manifold gaskets are reusable if in good shape. The header gaskets I can't say for sure but they may be ok.

 

$11 for new felpro exhaust gaskets. why reuse?

 

where $11? all ive seen is 25/ea

 

autozone

 

seriously? i ******* paid like 20 ea from a local speed shop SOB

 

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

 

intake gaskets are less than $30 so I would replace them

 

i would be re-installing the ls1 intake until i get the funds up again for an ls6, i dont want to buy gaskets twice

 

seriously..

if you cant fork over 20 bucks to put some new gaskets in sounds like this guy should find a new hobby rofl
