Important: Do not reuse the lower intake manifold gaskets or end seals.

1. Clean the intake manifold in an approved solvent.

•	Clean debris out of all bolt holes. Clean the intake manifold gasket sealing surfaces.

•	Clean all carbon from the EGR passages.

•	Clean all intake manifold ports.





Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

2. Dry the intake manifold with compressed air.
3. Inspect the following:

•	The intake manifold bolt holes (1) for cracks and/or damage

•	The MAP sensor sealing surface (2) for damage

•	The purge solenoid sealing surface (4) for damage. The purge solenoid bolt has a sealer that may come off during removal of the bolt. Ensure all sealant is removed from the bolt hole.

•	The intake manifold-to-cylinder head sealing surfaces (3) for damage

•	The EGR adapter mounting surface for damage

•	The throttle body studs (5) for damage. Replace as necessary.

•	The throttle body mounting surface (6) for damage

•	The oil fill tube hole (7) for signs of leakage. Reseal as necessary.
