Intake Plenum Gasket

Just finished putting my gen 2.5 back together after replacing valve stem seals, lash adjusters and timing belt. Given all that could go wrong (like valve keeper falling into the sump) things worked out great, except I discovered a small coolant leak in the J-shaped coolant transfer pipe. The pipe has a hair-line crack in it near the mounting flange where it bolts to the head. Anyhow, plenum needs to come back off to replace that pipe. You guys have a view on the re-use of the plenum gasket at the intake manifold, replace or re-use? The current one is new and obviously has not been on long. I'd prefer not replacing again, but don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish. Thanks,

You can reuse it if you spray it with high tack spray gasket. Then again if the gasket is inexpensive just get a new one
