Question To Torque Or Not To Torque ?

Ok This Weekend I'm Removing All Egr Stuff And Replacing It With New. While I'm At It I Was Going TO DO Some Cleaning And Inspecting. At First I Was Going To Remove The Intake From The Heads And Put All New Gaskets In. Why Mess With A Good Thing. I'm Pretty Sure That The Gaskets Aren't Leaking But Then Again I'm Not 100 % Sure...
Should I Leave It Alone, Replace The Gaskets, Or Just Torque The Bolts And Make Sure They Are All Tight. Let Me Know Somthing Guys And Girls. '99 F-150 Flareside 5.4l

IMO if it ain't broke don't fix it could be opening a real can of worms that may get quite expensive to fix

......unless you work for the government, then your motto should be...."If it ain't broke, then keep fixing it til it breaks"
