Yes, Harley Engines have base gaskets. They go between the bottom of the jugs and the top of the engine case. The best ones are made by James inc., they are steel rather than paper.

head gaskets blow and intake manifold gaskets break
No, you need a new gasket. About the only gaskets that may be reusable are valve cover gaskets some engines.

From 1996 to late 1999 There was a problem with the intake gasket design on the Vortec engines. They have sents redesigned the gasket and now it does not leak as often. Intake Gaskets leaking is a common problem. Now the only time you have a problem with the heads is when the engine is over heated, and I mean HOT. Then the heads warp and the head gaskets leak or blow. Chevy just don't have problems with the heads on the V6 and V8 engines.
The intake gaskets are none to leak antifreeze. It is a real common problem with the vortec engines. Other then that there goods engines and have really no other problems.
Nascar do allow the use of Cometic gaskets on the racing cars. The cometic gasket is produced with today's lightweight engines in mind and provides extra performance and power output
The Ford Taurus for the most part has a V6 engine. It has 2 head gaskets. Some very early model Taurus's had 4 cylinder engines which had 1 head gasket.
They always blow the head gaskets between 70 and 100 thousand miles.
No mate they didnt.
Gaskets containing asbestos were used in a number of applications because they had a great resistance to heat.
Yes sir, That is the MOST common PROBLEM with the Vortec engines.
