    When i pulled my intake manifolds off to renew, i noticed that the gaskets weren't ruined or in too bad of conditions, i believe they would be fine to put back on but to be safe i was wondering what i could use to maybe renew them a little, any suggestions?

    RickCoMatic had some suggestions for my exhaust gaskets; perhaps the same might apply to the intake gaskets.

    Not to hijack a thread, but since we're talking about gaskets where do you buy those at? I just pulled my headers off and I've been reading you should replace the exhaust gaskets when you replace the exhaust.

    I have had the exhaust off of my turbo more times than I can count. Never did I change the exhaust gaskets. My suggestion is to put it back together and torque down to specs and see if it leaks. You will hear a slight ticking if its leaking. Be very carefull when you torque down the exhaust studs, they are old and prone to snapping especially if you are using aftermarket exhaust.

    I got my exhaust gaskets from a supplier on Ebay - they're not exactly the same as the Yamaha style, but they seem to work perfectly
