Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine application by year, make, and model before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the exhaust manifold and fasteners for damage or warpage before reassembly. Use the vehicle service procedure for torque sequence and final tightening to help the new gasket seal correctly.
