I removed the throttlebody and everything today in preparation of installing this new head that I picked up from Rob. As soon as I took it off I noticed that the intake manifold is absolutely caked in grime. Ive got a breather filter on the valve cover so nothing should be circulated back into the intake tube so I wasnt expecting it to be this nasty. Is this normal? I'm assuming not and perhaps this is the cause of my stuck valve. I took some pics, but they didnt turn out very well and I'm not sure how to post them here. TIA! Mark.

Blocking of the EGR valve only causes a CEL in the California cars. I doubt you'll notice any difference in gas mileage. If you've got a California car which I highly doubt, you can still block it off, just keep the EGR sensor plugged in.
