I know I'll need new head gaskets. But I just did a cam swap, and I will only have about 400 miles on the motor at most hopefully when I do the head install.

Can I reuse the intake gasket (fel pro) and valve cover gaskets (fel pro)?

 

valve covers yes everything else no, even if it looks good trash them and buy new

 

i would definitely recommend new head gasket even if u didnt change heads and took em off. cheap insurance my friend

 

I planned on new head gaskets, I wasn't sure about the intake gasket mainly.

 

sorry i just re-read that i think ede actually does not use a gasket on his manifolds i want to say he said that he make his own silicon gasket. dont quote me on that but i would pm him and ask.

 

Replace intake and exhaust gaskets, reuse the valve cover ones unless they are torn or burned.

 

i use ultracopper on the china walls if the engine is still in the car, if it's out i use the china wall gaskets. with the engine o na stand i can see and handle the intake a lot eaier and not mess up. no idea why i don't just use silicone for them reguardless, but that's how i do it, plus use the long gaskets either way.

 

My engine guy ordered center bolt valve cover gaskets for my car, but I dont have center bolt heads, can I still use these? (they are the blue rubber type Fel-pro ones)

 

Even with those little of miles on them I doubt you'd get the intake gasket off cleanly anyways. Might as well just spend the bucks ahead of time.
