Confirm the flange dimensions before installation, including the 2-13/16 inch inside diameter and 19/32 inch thickness. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket seats evenly, and inspect the flange for warping, corrosion, or pitting before reassembly. Verify vehicle-specific fitment by year, make, and model, especially on Volkswagen applications with notes such as California models, RV engine, or chassis breakpoints.
