351m Intake gasket

Group

can i reuse the metal pan gasket on a 351 m intake???
or should i just spend the $25 and get a new one?
Also can i get away with a bead of sealant instead of the end gaskets?

Valley Pan ? I don't know.

If it seals the intake ports then replace it they've been squashed.

Yes,to RV sealant.I prefer using both at the same time.

i went with a two piece from summit that only costed me 16.95 + s&h. i didn't like the valley pan just because it was metal and i didn't feel like it was getting a good seal so these are a rubber material and i kept blowing the bead of RTV silicone so i used the cork type gasket they sent me and i have been good for 2 weeks now. good luck.
