Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both flange surfaces before installation and remove old gasket material, carbon buildup, and corrosion. Verify the flange faces are flat and the fasteners draw the joint together evenly so the gasket seats correctly at the manifold-to-front-pipe connection. Confirm exact vehicle application by year, make, model, and whether the 1999 EGR Valve note applies before ordering Fel-Pro 61008.
