when you take the manifold off the car, and put it back on do you have to put a new gasket on it?

at any rate..that is gonna be a lot of work that you dont need to do. and youll eventually strip something out...it always happens sooner or later...and unless you plan on doing it in a couple days is just gonna be a pita to do it. its a lot of work

no, theyre not that easily stripped....im just saying that a week or two of constantly taking off and putting back on you will eventually strip something just because of sure carelessness or bad luck
