Not leaking just regasketing engine.

Should I skip this gasket?

This in a completely original 115k mile engine, with a re-ring at 77k. Nothing is broke, stripped, or cracked at this time.

I don't want to start messing with something that is a low probability fail and wind up with damage to one of the manifolds.

What is your experience with this gasket?

Thanks for your help.

If it doesn't leak I'd leave it alone, But I've never had a lot of trouble changing one.

I agree, don't take that apart.

IF YOU SPLIT IT YOU NEED TO SEND THEM BOTH TO A MACHINE SHOP TO HAVE THEM PARALELL GROUND. IF IT AINT BROKE DONT MESS WITH IT AND IF YOU HAVENT REMOVED IT DONT !

They are still bolted together (off of the head but together).
Thanks so much folks. Never have I been so glad I ask!
I will deal with this only if it becomes a problem in the future.
