• Loss of exhaust sealing after heat cycling
• Visible soot around the exhaust manifold flange
• Failed gasket material from age and thermal stress

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the manifold flange and cylinder head sealing surfaces are clean, flat, and free of old gasket material before installation.
