Need help possible dirt got into heads,valley
I was Removing my intake manifold to repair the intake leak, well when I removed the intake , some of the dirt and small gasket material looked like it fell
into the intake ports and maybe a little in the lifter valley... I went and grabbed the shop vac and sucked up all the debris around the heads and anything that was visible in the intake ports and valley, I covered the ports and valley after shop vac'd it up, Will this hurt my motor should i change my oil before i start it back up?, Or let it run for a little bit then change oil? Thanks

Contrary to what you might think, engines are tough. You did exaclty what you should do. I would start it up, then change the oil shortly after.

ok thanks Im going to do what I have planned
Also on the bottom side of my intake manifold the drivers side where it meets the head was clean. but passenger side was black is this oil? was the gasket being bad that caused this?

I would dump a bunch of wallmart dino oil all over the lifters and valley and try to flush out anything thats there into the pan, then drain it all out.
