I went ahead and pulled the valve body,and good thing, some of the little screens were a bit cruddy.At least it'll be easier for next time because that crud probably means some seals inside the valvebody are fading( it may have just been gasket crud, that old valve body gasket was comming apart over some of the channels ).

Now all I need is the torque spec for the valve body bolts and I'll have it back together.
Anybody got that handy?
