Bill,
Every used TB is dirty, so I don't think you have a problem. In looking at
the intake manifold gaskets, I really don't see many people having a problem
with them (the factory gasket looks pretty nice). I know that Jim @ Kenne
Bell uses a different gasket, When we put the intakes back together, we will
use the same gasket he uses. TTYL
