Isn't there a baffle in one of the valve covers that needs cleaning if you open it up?

I disassembled both valve covers and cleaned every piece.

So I took off the intake and there's this black greasy stuff along the walls of the intake and into the engine. I assume the PO never seafoamed!

Probably low grade fuel to cause that sludge.

I threw mine in the parts washer too...but I still clean every nook.

That black stuff is the coating on the intake gasket.
