I really don't think it's necessary for you to check the iso thermal gasket. As you said, with the guide pins there, you really can't install it incorrectly lol.
If you do check it, I don't think a quick look will render it useless. Especially since you've barely put any miles on it. But I could be wrong haha.
Btw, I didn't reuse my oem gaskets when I installed my spacer and my car's running perfectly fine.

The stock gasket is much crappier than the iso thermal one. The stock gasket in between plenums is the one that caused me problems.
I guess I am mainly worried that maybe I nudged it out of place, not that it's completely bent. If it was folded over I wouldn't have been able to drive the car to work this morning.
I don't remember how well the guide bolts held the iso thermal gasket in. I want to say well enough to prevent it from shifting around enough to cause a problem but so much has happened since Sunday night that I'm not even sure how it looked when I put it in.
