For the spring, check this thread out. I came across it before I started my work and made extra double sure the springs and levers were correct before putting the covers on.

Particularly posts #14 and #16.

If you're going to go to the trouble of changing the intake seals, you might as well get new ones that are the correct part#. Also, make sure you don't lose any of the metal grommets... I know I've read one thread somewhere (can't find it at the moment) of someone who put the manifold back on and one of those slipped off and ended up melting a hole in the manifold itself.
