Do you need to replace the gasket between the upper and lower intake manifold? Do you need to replace the one between the lower intake manifold and the head?

My intake manifold is leaking somewhere in there after a fuel system install. Im almost 100% positive that they reused the gaskets. I dotn know it they would have taken off the lower one or not but i felt the leak between the lower and uppoer Intake manifold.

Thanks for any help

the FSM states that you should replace the gaskets. I put new ones in when I took my intake manifold off. I'm not that is is really necessary though. Did they torque the bolts correctly?

yes they should be replaced. in my limited car experience i have had 2 leaky manifold gaskets from reused gaskets or improperly prepared surfaces. old gaskets there are so hard there's no way they'll ever seal again

I tried to torque the bolts down more but there is still a leak.

Thanks for all the info.. It looks like im going ot be taking it off and putting a new one on.

Thanks
