Default is friends vtec solenoid dirty?

his vtec has been studdering so we took off his vtec solenoid. from the pic, to me it looks pretty clean, what do you guys think? but we just thought we would clean it anyways. so what do we do, just spray some wd40, rinse it off with water, and let it dry? do you have to lubercate it before you put it back on?

yeap read the thread you posted but
it makes sense thicker and mesh = no dirt going in and sealing better.
