Intake manifold gaskets questions
I would like to thank vettenuts for all of his help and ICUALL for the awesome intake removal step-by-step procedure 
. I wanted to ask those who have removed their intake manifold if it’s ok to reuse the intake manifold gaskets that were replaced not too long ago and if they still look good to everyone else (please see pictures).
The removal was pretty straight forward and easy imop but with a few bumps along the way such as I need to replace one of my manifold bolts because it striped out for some reason. I was able to get the bolt off but I don’t want to reuse the striped bolt. I plan on just picking up another from the hardware store. I’m also pretty sure I have the original oil pressure sensor from 60k miles ago as it’s the brass one and I’m not sure when they replaced the ops with the aluminum ones but it very well could be giving me false oil pressure readings.
