Does the intake manifold gasket get stuck on the head or the manifold when you remove the manifold. And.. what is the fastest saftest way to remove the gasket without hours of painful scraping or whatnot? Should I or can I reuse an intake manifold gasket? Thanks in advance.

 

if i'm not mistaken, scrapping it off would be the ideal way. scrape all the gasket out and clean the mating surfaces. it's better to replace the gasket especially if it shows sign of wear.

 

Most intake gaskets will also tear when removed. I would never trust reusing an intake gasket. Always use new one. Cheap insurance.

P.S. Gasket scraper and a little elbow grease, what little parts left should come right off.

 

Thanks people. A little elbow greese wont hurt.
