Original manifold gaskets with 134k miles. Been reused twice. Once with putting headers on and again when I put ported heads on. This is why they are the best. I ordered a new set this time around.

Good stuff, rock solid.

I was simply amazed that I was able to reuse mine when I installed my headers. Not a ton of miles really, but I was used to SBC days when they would leak if you looked at em wrong!

Great gasket. I will be buying another OEM pair if mine ever need it. Don't see any reason to use anything else.

GM hit a home run with the gasket design for the LS engines. No doubt about it.

I reused my water pump gaskets twice and the header gaskets. The only gaskets I can't take a chance on reusing so far has been the cylinder head gaskets. Would be nice if we could though.
