I did the plenum about 3k miles ago. Burned about 1/2 quart oil, which I didn't think was too bad for a motor with 152k miles. Replaced tb gasket when I did the plenum. I need to take the tb off and have a look in there, but I keep forgetting to go by the parts store and get a gasket. Question is, do I really need to replace it seeing how its so new? Not a big deal, they're cheap, but just curious if I don't get a chance to run by the parts store tomorrow if I can pull the tb tomorrow night, take a look, and reuse the gasket on there. (Parts store closed now or I'd go now).
I mean reuse the tb gasket..didn't know if I made that clear

 

The best way to make sure you'll tear a gasket is to be without a replacement.

 

Yep.

They are only a couple bucks.....

 

Lol, good point. Unfortunately, I forgot to go by the parts store today (was in a hurry to get home so I could take the kids to the christmas parade) and now the kids are in bed and I'd like to take a look at the plenum. Ah, well. Maybe manana
