Replacing Intake gaskets on NEW engine

What up fella's?

I recently took delivery of my Stroker, I noticed that the Intake manifold was not opened up to 58mm, it was basically just overlooked..no biggie as Bret didnt charge me for it But I am stepping up to a 58mm TB and want to to remove the Intake from the engine (thats still in the crate) and i was curious on whether or not need to replace the felpro Intake gaskets that are on there even though the engine has never been fired, I dont know whether or not if them being torqued down on one makes then un-reusable, I already have the Permatex copper seal RTV for front and rear, just wondering if these felpro's need re-using...I have re-used header gaskets several times..the EARLS pressure masters, and also the fel-pro's once or twice..bur curious about the intake.

Thanks in Advance

I would use new ones for peace of mind. It's not like it's a lot of money.

I've been to the airstrip there, once. Heh, I used to work with a guy that was from Tomato.
