Before installing the new intake manifold gasket, thoroughly clean the surfaces that will adhere to the gasket, both on the cylinder head and the manifold side: remove all remnants of the old gasket and polish until you achieve a mirror-like surface.

At this point, insert the new gasket, aligning it with the dowel pins on the cylinder head, fit the intake manifold, and tighten the respective nuts in a cross pattern using a torque wrench.
