• Oil contamination around the intake sealing area
• Loss of sealing integrity after manifold removal service

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the intake manifold and cylinder head sealing faces for damage or warpage. Follow the vehicle service manual for torque sequence and tightening specifications. Verify engine application by year, make, and model before ordering, especially on Subaru Impreza, Forester, Legacy, Outback, and Baja fitments.
