Intake Manifold Gasket Replacement

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Engine

The intake manifold gaskets are actually o-ring seals applied inside specific grooves made at the ends of the intake manifold itself, which must then be inserted and locked onto the cylinder head; once the old gaskets are removed, clean the seats thoroughly and apply the new gaskets (it is also recommended to lightly lubricate them with clean oil to facilitate fitting); ensure there are no dirt residues in the cylinder head seats and apply the manifold, pressing it until the ports are seated; then position the rocker cover and tighten the fixing bolts.
