Before proceeding with the installation of the intake manifold gasket, ensure that there are no dirt or residue on either the cylinder head side or the manifold side; then apply the new gasket and secure the intake manifold to the cylinder head by tightening the respective fixing studs with the appropriately calibrated torque wrench.

The gasket is made of paper: it consists of cellulose fibres generally reinforced with plasticised gels that make it resistant to oils and fuels as well as high temperatures; it can also be used for water pumps and crankcases.
