The exhaust manifold gasket is divided into three pieces, one for every two cylinders. Once you insert the gaskets onto the studs, slide the manifold into place and tighten the mounting nuts to the correct torque.

The kit also includes gaskets to apply at the end of the manifold, which are triangular in shape, to which the exhaust pipe will be attached. These are metal gaskets since they come into contact with components that experience high thermal stress and must therefore be able to withstand such conditions without causing leaks.
