Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the exhaust manifold and cylinder-head sealing surfaces before installation. Remove old gasket material, carbon buildup, and corrosion so the new gasket can seat evenly. Verify bolt-hole alignment and torque fasteners in the manufacturer-specified sequence for the vehicle. For best results, confirm the manifold is not warped and replace damaged studs or hardware as needed during service.
