STEP 8:

Two different types of sealers are used during intake manifold installation: 1) a contact cement type

such as Gasgacinch®, or High Tack®, and 2) Silicone. The recommended silicone is Motorcraft TA-29®.

STEP 9:

Apply a thin coating of Gasgacinch on the head intake port flange and the head side of the intake

manifold gasket. Within a few minutes, the surfaces will start to dry and become tacky. Carefully place

the gaskets on the head surface aligning ports and bolt holes.

STEP 10:

Install EGR gasket or block-off, depending on intake manifold style. If the manifold does not have an

EGR passage (no EGR passage on our example) the block-off is used.
