Upper intake gasket reuse
2013 ford explorer 3.5 non turbo
I changed the front ( bank 2) spark plugs easily
now fothe back ones ( bank 1)
Is the upper plenum intake gasket the reusable type ? Or should I order a new one ?
thanks
Dan

Order a new one. While the gasket *might* be okay upon re-use, a new one (FelPro MS97214) is under $8 on Amazon (for example). It isn't worth it to do the work twice if you end up with an intake leak.
