What It Helps Address

• Air leaks at the throttle body mounting surface

• Service replacement for worn or flattened throttle body gaskets

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the throttle housing dimensions before installation: 65.0 mm inner diameter, 69.6 mm outer diameter, and 5.0 mm height. Confirm the A-shape profile matches the original seal on the vehicle before assembly. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket seats evenly, and inspect the throttle body flange for wear or distortion before reassembly.
