Engine Pull is moving along. Intake Mani is out to fix afterrun pump leak.. best way to clean up?
There is a crapload of oil, PS fluid and dirt caked under there. What's the best way to clean this up? Should I even worry about it?

Before pulling the manifold I cleaned up the area as best i could but still a little dirt fell into one of the chambers. How concerned should I be about this?

Also, should I use new gaskets?
Thanks guys! I wouldn't even remotely consider attempting any of this if not for this forum and all of you guys.

u shouldve masked off the ports beforehand, do your best to remove any/all debris from the chambers,
dont worry about the cake up top, that's not a big deal, and you can always powerwash that stuff out after you re-install.
def use new gaskets if possible.
def try n vac out any debris that did fall into the ports.
you dont want anything that could get in there and scratch up your cylinders.
good luck!
