You need to pm HankL. He is a member here and has written a book on this very subject.

to check the gasket i believe all you do is take off the throttle body and look down the intake with a flashlight. if there is oil you gasket is bad, from what ive been told a little oil is normal....but i guess use your judgement to decide whether it is alittle or alot.
