Ok, so I've got 'er all dissasembled and the IRMCs cleaned.. I have a few issues though:
1. Look at this gasket, is it safe to reuse or do I need to buy a replacement?
2. While handling the IMRC controller, I noticed something inside sounds like it is rattling around.. is that normal or is that thing shot too?
3. When I took off the intake cover, I noticed a fair amount of oil in the upper intake, on the runners, laying in the bottom, and around the gasket, is that normal?
And finally, Here's what mine look(ed) like after 85k mi...
And a dirty next to a clean...
Any help would be appreciated as I would like to minimize downtime, if I need a new controller and gasket I'll go to ford and get em tomorrow, and hope she runs right when I put it all back together
