Would the codes be from reusing the old gasket or have I messed the EGR system up? The car did stumble a little bit when it first fired up after my cleaning (maybe some gunk fell into a bad place?).

My guess is that the system just needs to flush itself out after dislodging the crap. Have you tried resetting the CEL and seeing if it goes back on?
DISCLAIMER: I'm NOT a mechanic but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. As with all of my stupid advice (mainly related to motorcycles) you follow it at your own risk. That being said, my Pilot is running like new and the the fuel needle seems to move a lot slower than before
