Intake to head gaskets
OK, I know I'm going to get yelled at for this one but.... I put the intake on and torqued it. And immediately had to take it back off for reasons we wont talk about. The gaskets look perfect except for a little compression . Can these be reused or do I have to get new ones?

Yeah I knew what the answer would be, but you never know sometimes the answer is opposite of what I thought it would be. I just happen to have another set on the shelf......lesson learned.

No, there was a threaded plug in the hole for the oil pressure/sender unit on the back of the block. Like a dummy i did not remove/loosen before I put the intake on. I therefore could not get it loose or a big enough tool on it with the intake in place. When I did remove the intake it took a mighty big crescent wrench to get it loose. Damn red locktite!!!!!!
