Good time to clean out the EGR guide tube while you have the plenum
off...

Consider replacing the following (I value my labor/time more than the
$20 in parts that these gaskets will cost):

EGR guide tube gasket (for the end that connects to the plenum)
Throttle Body Gasket
Valve Cover underside spark plug tube seals (3 per valve cover)
IACV gasket

That should be it

Also clean out the throttle body butterfly plate and IACV while you
have the chance...

This is exactly what I was hoping for...instead of getting into it and
having to make another trip to the parts store. Thanks a bunch.

You may need a tube of gray silicone, required when the covers have
sharp angles, or round sections.
