All I did was spray carb cleaner into the ports in the bottom of it, i didn't want to take the chance of damaging the valve mechanism.
True... I guess I'll go and order new gaskets then...
All you need are two TB gaskets, don't order a new intake manifold gasket. Also, you should have replaced the EGR gasket if you didn't do that.
