Important: Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the oil passages of the manifold. Plug as required.
Important: Remove only the outer gasket from the manifold. Do not disassemble any of the internal components of the manifold in an attempt to remove the 8 inner sealing gaskets. If the inner gaskets are cut or damaged, replace the manifold as an assembly. Only use a wire-cutter type tool in order to minimize the amount of debris. Do not use a rotary-type cutting tool on the retaining straps.
Important:
• All gasket surfaces should be free of oil or other foreign material during assembly. • Do not allow dirt or debris to enter the manifold. Plug as required.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
