throttle body removal

[CMF_rowstar1]

hey i just bought my k11 a second hand TB. i want to fit it today, but was going to check first if this is a process i can do myself? is there a gasket that i need to replace between the TB and the motor or is it a sealer/paste that i need instead?
thanks

hey Row, yeah there is a gasket, if your careful it should come off intact. reuse it with some RTV. also think about doing the resolder before you install the TB.

And clean the idle up solenoid

oh yeah that too, thx Doom. If you do clean up the ICV, check that the o'rings aren't shagged.

Is a replacement gasket and o'rings mentioned above readily available, and what's the best way to clean the ICV?

where's the idle up solenoid located?

i carby cleaned where i could inside it.
avoided the afm.
i can do the solder.

and whats RTV?

cheers

rtv - hitemp silicone sealant, little bit on the both sides of the gasket. ICV or idle up solenoid is located on front of TB, big gray plug plugs into it.
