intake manifold gasket

i put on TB spacers a while back. i want to remove my intake manifold again and clean everything again then smooth out the passageways with a dremmel. but im not sure if i will need a new gasket, i know the stock gasket is reusable but the one that fits between the spacer and upper manifold is not. would it be ok to just pick up a second reusable one from the dealer? or do i have to go through outlaw engeneering to get the paper one? sorry if i did not explain this very well

why would you put on TB spacers to begin with? Thats rice crap...

You might as well just go ahead and buy the OE thermospacers since you're gonna have the thing taken apart, it will replace your useless spacer anyhow and be way better

TB Spacers are rice crap? The Outlaw Engineering Thermoblok kit comes with intake manifold spacer and a throttle body spacer.

lol i have the OE spacers, both the manifold and tb spacers. my question is when i take off the manifold again i will need to use a new gasket since the one inscluded with the kit is not reusable,and since acura doesnt make a disposable paper one for the manifold can i just use the resuable metal one.

the one that goes between the spacer and upper manifold
