Throttle body gasket+ oil change gaskets PICS
Anyone know what the metal screen on the TB gasket is for? Keep out critters?
Also, I added the 10pk pic of oil plug washers to encourage all to buy the real deal. They appear to be aluminum with slate blue paper bonded to both sides. |

I like to remove the whole throttle body to properly clean it every 25K miles or so. I like to use a fresh gasket when I put it back on.
See? Besides, the gasket was under $10, as I recall. |

oh, never thought about swapping out the gasket at 25k
i had my tb off at about 20000kms and it looked to have no wear whatsoever to me, it seems like a waste to be changing the gasket so frequently

You did'nt notice a lot of black stuff built up on the back side of the throttle body plate when you pulled it? That stuff can cause the TB to stick over time.
I only bought one gasket, so I don't have a lot of $ tied into this process. Besides, since the car is under warr. still,I won't be removing it till after the 3/36k period. |
