Definitely clean them up and would highly recommend a fuel injector
cleaning (not in the PCV either).

Subject: DML: It was blown the whole time....

Well, in preperation of installing the supercharger, and trying to pass
emmsions (kept failing NOX, EGR was OK)... I took off the intake
manifold and inspected the belly pan. There was a 2" section on the
left side that was pushed out leaving a gaping hole for oil vapor to get
sucked in through... I imagine it was like this from the factory, from
1992 as it was pushed outward most likely from tightening down the bolts
and the gasket pushed that way. The valves have a large amount of build
up on them, do you think it would be a good idea to spray them down B4 I
put it back together???????? This couldnt cause any harm could it???
