So I narrowed my gas in my oil problem down to a bad injector. #4 would just turn on and not shut off when the pump was charged. So i broke it all down and have new injecors sitting ready to go on, but my question is this. Can I use the gasket I just put on the upper manifold again or so I have to replace it. Keep in mind this is a fresh rebuilt motor and the gasket has maybe 50-100 miles on it. Just trying to figure that out before I start putting her back together. Thanks.

Re: Gasket question
In reality if its not ripped you could re-use it. But thats your call. I did the same thing, put the top half of my motor together, a few hundres miles later I swapped back to the stock injectors, had the intake off and I reused the gasket because it wasnt ripped, if it had ripped when I took it off then I would have replaced it. Im sure other people will say to def replace it but IMO if its not ripped, re use it. Only cause it has very low miles like you say

Re: Gasket question
That's why I apply a light coat of silicone grease to both sides of some of my gaskets so that they *won't* stick and I can reuse them...

Re: Gasket question
I changed all of mine out it was easy. Just loosened and pulled the fuel rail from the injectors. Pulled the old injectors out. Popped the new injectors in and hooked everything up. I don't know I may be missing something on my engine or something. But on mine it looked pretty straight forward.
