Folks,

Had an oil leak from the passenger side valve cover that needed to be fixed. Now that I have removed the intake manifold with the gasket ripping and tearing into multiple pieces, all of which remained firmly attached to either the head or manifold.

Knowing that this manifold will have to be taken off at least a couple of more times in the near future, is there any coatings that can be applied to the manifold side of the gasket to allow it to release and leave the gasket on the head in good shape for reuse?

The felpro intake gaskets are the key.

The black or white gaskets that GM sells, or that Victor-Reinz sells are as you describe, a major PITA to remove.

The Felpro one comes off painlessly, and holds when it's supposed to.
