Intake plenum gaskets reusable?

I am planning to do the valve cover gaskets and am not sure whether I need to get new intake plenum gaskets or if I can reuse the old ones?

I do 99% of my own wrenching. I bought the gaskets but didn't changed them out when I did my vc gaskets, tb and intake clean out and sp.
I just wanted to see if the old gaskets will hold.
So far so good 65000 miles now. No codes.
Dang it, I may have jinxed myself...

We're not talking a lot of money for these plenum gaskets. Why risk a vacuum leak to save a few bucks? The smart and safest choice is to just replace them.

I'm also of this point of view. if your going to do the work yourself spring for a new gasket. your totally saving the $ by doing it yourself so you might as well replace it. I had one leak one time and I always replace them now.

Yup overland rigs. I won't even fool around when maintaining the rig, I would replace too no questions ask. Not fun getting stranded with no help near by.
My rig is just putting around town, close to home and tools.
