Re: OE vs Aftermarket Gaskets?
When you have it off, dont forget to clean your idle air control valve, EGR passage (needs a new gasket too) and main intake ports. You may also consider removing the throttle body from it and cleaning thoroughly also..... keep in mind whatever you remove to clean will need a new gasket but its better to do all this at once while you have the intake off. Its also a good time to test the IRIS valve actuator and check on the condition of the knock sensors.
