Gaskets are cheap, I think mine was like 10 max. Consult the factory manual for re-installation. Most commonly people do not realize that specific motors (aka my miata motor) recommend a small dab of sealant on specific areas.
If you are located in the NOVA area.. I HIGHLY recommend RMS Custom Powdercoating as he does really nice pearl powdercoats.
