    Quick answer K20a3 IM gasket reusable?

    Hello, Just like the title says, does anyone know if the k20a3 intake manifold gasket is reusable, I am about to take a friends intake off and am waiting on this, because he dosen't have another gasket.

    I am thinking it is, because the manifold is plastic, so I don't know, I don't think it will be a big deal eaither way.


    Regards, and thanks for the quick responses (hopefully )

    bit late, but any gasket is reusable if you use enough RTV.

      No need for rtv

      The intake gasket is made of some form of polymer O rings.

      The gasket is reusable as long as you are care full not to tear the rings.

      It is good to see that companies are using the polymer gaskets now instead of the paper ones. Ohh how I hate paper gaskets.
