It's possible, but I was very cautious and vacuumed each time I cleaned with a narrow extension that was pretty powerful.

I'd drop some oil in on the tops of those rings before you button it up...

Default 5.9 head gasket

going to be doing head gasket on my 5.9 D just wondering what gasket kit you’re are using. I want to stay all OEM and and use the Hughes plenum kit. Just wondering what your opinions may be

Go with the felrpo kit and I got it at rockauto. I got the full kit since I needed the other gaskets and it was more cost effective.
