  1. Clean any debris from the cylinder head or intake manifold gaskets. Place the intake manfiold in position on the cylinder heads.
  2. Important: The intake manifold carrier gaskets are attached to the intake manifold through a snap-lock feature. When you install the intake manifold, the carrier gaskets will remain attached to the manifold. It is not necessary to replace the gaskets unless there is damage to the seals.

  3. Install the six bolts (3), four studs (1) and spacers (2).
  4. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
