gaskets

well I'm getting prepared to take off the turbo on my car, and then I check mazdatrix for pricing on gaskets.....36 and 38 for the block to mannifold and mannifold to turbo! Are these reusable? I really don't want to spend 75 bucks on 2 gaskets

I believe they are the metal type, that are reusable, but if you've never changed them on you 100K+ ride might be a good idea too......

Inspect the metal exhaust gaskets - if they are in good shape, you can reuse them.&nbsp Any signs of cracking or exhaust leakages would require replacement.&nbsp Just be glad you don't own an FD - the FD uses two of them (one for each exhaust port), and they cost like almost $100 each!
