I will be removing the inlet manifold to change my starter motor. Is it worth replacing the gasket seals or do they generally not need replacing?

do you have any vacuum leaks? Did you replace them when you fitted the motor? if no leaks and you replaced them before then I would leave it. Otherwise this might be helpful.
