I'll ask anyway. Just put the intake back on the new engine last week, drove it about 5 miles and parked it. I polished my spare intake and want to swap them out. Can I reuse the gaskets that are basically brand new or do I need to order another new set?

I would get a new set, you can get them at any parts store.

I would not reuse. I'm sure there are other opinions.

risk a vacuum leak for 12 dollars and some change plus an extra hour to put everything back after you figure it out... nope.
