i remember when putting my intake on my crate motor last year that they were plastic..looked as if you could reuse them. anyone know if this is the case?

also, the intake bolts from GM had a thread locker already on them. should i put some more on then when i put my new intake on?

thanks.

GM says you can, if they're still good.

Yes, use threat locker on the intake bolts. I believe last time I did it I used blue loctite.
