Whenever a gasket has been put into service, it molds to the contours of =
the two mating surfaces and crushes in place when you tighten it down. =
Removing the gasket and then re-using it isn't a good idea. for one =
thing, you can't get the gasket to fit EXACTLY where it was before. =
Sighting it doesn't cut it. Second, it can't crush to conform to the =
two mating surfaces and form a tight seal. Just tightening the nuts or =
bolts more isn't going to accomplish that. What you may get is a warped =
part or a stressed one that may fail later. Usually at an inopportune =
time. Spends the few buck and get a new one. Vac leaks are the worst =
since it sucks unfiltered air through the leak doing more damage than if =
you bought the new gasket in the first place.

Subject: tbi removal
Quick question on removing the throttle body. Will I need a new gasket,
or will the old one be fine when I put it back on? I need to clean
mine, and I was thinking of removing it to make things easier.
