Throttle body gasket

I tried a search and couldnt find an answer. Im going to clean the throttle body and maf sensor on my 05 f150 5.4 3v soon. Is there a gasket for inbetween the throttle body and intake manifold? Also is it ok to move the throttle plate with the TB removed from engine? Thanks.

The electronic throttle body should not be moved, if you do, be very slow and careful.

Yes, there is a gasket between the throttle body and spacer.

Try not to move the blade

It sits on a oring gasket....reusable until it's flatten or starts to peel chunks out
