Default Intake gasket

Not sure if this is the right thread for this question if not can someone point me in the right direction. On my build I'm using the dorman intake (part #615-901). I've search and can't seem to find the answer, so again if I've overlooked a thread by mistake please point me in the right direction. I bolted the intake onto my engine and need to remove it to install engine into the vehicle due to clearance issues of install. When I remove the intake, can I reuse the gaskets or do I need to replace them since I have already bolted and torqued the intake to the heads ? Engine has never been cranked and everything is new. TIA

Generally you can re-use them. If they look OK, like no cuts tears breaks etc., they probably are.

Hint: use some silicone dielectric grease on the rubbery parts.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, the intake is brand new and of course came with the gaskets so they are new as well. Just wanted to make sure I didn't waste them by bolting the intake down and have to buy new ones. The engine os still on the stand so never has been fired up since swapping the cam, springs, and intake.
