push-in-place rubber gaskets and some
stamped steel gaskets are the only
kind I can think of where reuse can
be justified. With intake gaskets I
am most familiar with bylon-carrier
gaskets 0 I have no idea what Sentras
have - but most all such gaskets have
crush ramps on them that can't be used
more than once.
