Before applying the new gasket to the intake manifold, thoroughly clean the gasket seating area, removing any dirt and deposits that could compromise the adhesion and sealing of the gasket, affecting engine performance. Once cleaning is complete, place the new gasket aligning it with the dowel pins; then position the intake manifold and tighten the respective mounting bolts using a torque wrench and following a cross pattern.

Do not neglect to clean the manifold itself.
