Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces before installation and remove old gasket material completely. Verify the throttle body flange and intake surface are flat and free of damage before fitting the new gasket. Match the gasket to the four-bore mounting pattern and confirm application by year, make, and model before assembly.
