Before installing the new intake manifold gaskets, it is essential to clean the gasket seats on both the manifold side and the cylinder head. Remove any residue that could compromise the adhesion and sealing of the gaskets, which would negatively affect engine performance.

Once the cleaning phase is complete, apply the new gaskets, which consist of six pieces, each to be installed on a single cylinder, fitting them onto the dowel pins. Finally, install the manifold and tighten the mounting nuts.
