This part cross-references 14140-60A20 and MS15629 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Exhaust leaks at the manifold-to-head sealing surface
• Ticking or puffing noises from a leaking manifold gasket
• Loss of exhaust sealing after heat cycling and age
• Visible soot around the manifold flange area
• Failed gasket sealing during exhaust manifold service

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the exhaust manifold and cylinder head sealing surfaces before installation. Remove carbon buildup, check for warpage, and verify that the bolt pattern matches the 8-hole configuration before assembly. Use the correct torque sequence and follow the vehicle service manual for the specific Suzuki Samurai, Sidekick, Geo Tracker, Chevrolet Tracker, GMC Tracker, or Pontiac Sunrunner application.
