HELP FAST: Intake gasket question So long story short, I'm finishing up changing my head gasket when a pushrod fell back under the intake manifold when I was putting them in. I was wondering if I can re-use the intake manifold gaskets or should I wait until tomarrow to get some new ones? Thanks in advance.

did you put the gasket on???? did it feel hard or soft... thats the GM gasket im assuming... if so then it was probably a hard gasket.... you can reuse it... you havent destroyed it... but im still curious as to how you dropped the pushrod down in the vally... never seen or heard of anyone doing that before....

The gasket felt hard, and yes it is a gm one. I dont know how it got in there either, but after 5 hours in the sun, my hands got sweaty and I guess it slipped. It was the last on on the drivers side so I was reaching at a wierd angle. I think for my own peace of mind I going to get some new gaskets.
