I did a search but didn't come up with the answer.
I took apart the intake on my 99 and was wondering if I can reuse the 3 metal gaskets:
- engine to manifold
- between 2 halfs of manifold
- manifold to throttle body
Knowing Mazda, they're probably cost an arm and a leg![wink](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/wink.gif)

No idea on the engine to manifold gasket though.

I just know, when I swapped my head after porting it, the the IM gasket was warped and the bead flattened after removal. Once I refit it, the coolant leaked right out of it. No amount of torquing the bolts/nuts would cure it.
