Ive got my car all set up to change the manifold, and i've forgot to get a fucking gasket :(
Will i get away with using the old one?

you can but you would end up changing it soon after so its always easier to buy 1 before and wait to fit

i've had trouble cleaning off all the old gasket before and in the haste to get my car working again just done a bead of gasket sealer over the top. Not the best solution but not ever had a leak doing it this way.
