The intake manifold gasket consists of six pieces: four individual rings that should be positioned at the corresponding ducts and the manifold, and two additional elements each made up of two joined rings. Once the individual gaskets are inserted into their respective slots, position the manifold and tighten the respective fixing bolts using a torque wrench to ensure uniform adherence and guarantee the perfect sealing of the gaskets.

This will prevent fluid pressure losses along the intake duct, ensuring better performance for the engine.
