reusing throttle body upper gasket?

[JimSuperSix]

Toyota are less than helpful in finding a new one, so can I re-use the upper gasket that links the EFI unit to the throttle body? I assume the only thing up there will be air anyway (no fuel/oil) ?

Perhaps a little silicone sealant around the gasket before reassembly, or is that a bad idea for future removal?

Anyone know the Toyota part number for this gasket by the way (the upper gasket, not the lower one, as I already have a new one of these) ?

Clean off all the gasket and use silicon instant gasket, or if the gasket is still in one please some hylomar on it will do the job.

Cheers

Thanks Stevo, Toyota have finally located the item for me, so I have already ordered one from the garage just down the road.

Thanks for the offer anyway - much appreciated
