Throttle Body sucks (air)

[jimmybgoode]

Needed an ISC motor, so I bought a TB off DSMTrader for a really good price. Less than what most people want for just an ISC. I figured when I did the ISC I'd just pull the whole TB and clean that sumbiatch up.

Got it cleaned and put back on with original gasket. It leaked. Went to satan, got the gasket for $4, cleaned all the old gasket crap off, put new one on and it still leaks. Now it's time for some permatex. I globbed that crap on, stuck it back together, waited awhile, started it up and it still leaks!

I can put my finger over where it's sucking from and feel it. Look hard and I can see it. The TB isn't mating up with the intake, like it's warped. I figure I got carried away with the wire wheel.

Is there anything I can do or should I just buy a new-to-me TB?

possible leaks also can be the o-rings

I didn't install the TB I had bought. I just used the ISC, swiped the TPS and throttle closed switch and sold the TB. It was off a turbo engine.

When I cleaned my TB, I used carb cleaner and a wire brush. Then I cleaned the outside up a little with a wire wheel in my drill at low rpms. I did run it along the mating surface to clean some of the old gasket off that didn't come off with scraping. So I'm betting I gouged it pretty good, enough to not mate correctly.

Is there anything better than permatex to try and seal this up?
