Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the 3-bolt pattern, 3.125 in. bolt hole center spacing, and 0.375 in. bolt hole diameter before installation. Verify the port opening measures 2.375 in. by 2.375 in. and matches the exhaust flange being serviced. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly so the gasket can seat evenly, and inspect the flange faces for warping or corrosion before assembly. This gasket is used at the front converter to rear converter position on the listed Chevrolet Cruze applications.
