The intake manifold of the car is a device designed to evacuate exhaust gases from the cylinders. Working at high temperatures, the gasket of this manifold can easily deteriorate.

Removing the intake manifold and replacing its gasket is a fairly simple operation that does not require special maneuvers. Just proceed by unscrewing the bolts and nuts.

Be careful when installing the new gasket because improper application on the new manifold could cause gas leaks.
