umm,yeah...the words your after are, throttle body gasket...and yes you should get some new ones to replace the ones you tore, they help create the seal between t/b and manifold....metal on metal doesnt work that great at creating an air tight seal.

Michael that gasket between the throttle body is very important for sealing the two metal surfaces together. It MUST be replaced if damaged. If you are cleaning the throttle body donot remove the green cap on the throttle stop screw or adjust this item. It is factory set. Just clean the throttle body bore inside with a good quality cleaner so as you hold the throttle body up to the light you can see light just shining around the throttle plate inside. Will assist in a better idle quality.

Michael....

Er I know. Or perhaps the other person is called Michael and I missed something. There seems to be enough Mikes running around though.
