Subject:intake gasket?
From:Grungy
Date:Sat, 12 Mar 2011 10:01:24 -0600

Injectors out - d'oh! - that was easy.
FLAPS should have seals this afternoon.

Old intake manifold gasket appears to be glued to the intake manifold.
Hard black stuff with paper faces.
Paper face I can see is very scratched.

I have a replacement gasket, but can't easily get the old one off,
and I could scratch up the intake during removal.  Does the collected
wisdom here say replace it or use the old one?
Should I get some kind of high-temp Permatex to fill in the scratches
on the old one's paper face?
