Does anyone know if the intake gaskets are reusable? I want to replace my knock sensor, but I need to remove the intake to do it. Wondering if I can reuse the intake gaskets, or if I need to buy some new ones before I attempt this.
The manual seems to imply new intake manifold, coolant crossover and thermostat housing gaskets are needed. This may be because Ford didn't have a "normal" service that requires taking off the manifold. OTOH, on the Yamaha SHO engines, the intake gaskets are reusable and there are required 60K/100K services on them that require intake removal. Just a guess as to the reason.
