Common reasons to replace
Replace a gasket with cuts, tears, distortion, hardening or loss of its original sealing shape. Replacement is also appropriate when inspection or leak testing identifies leakage at the corresponding intake joint, or when the applicable workshop procedure calls for renewing seals after disassembly.
An intake air leak may contribute to rough idle, mixture-correction faults or drivability complaints. Those symptoms also occur with other intake, ignition and fuel-system faults, so locate the leak before replacing parts. Clean and inspect the sealing surfaces, keep debris out of the intake passages, and ensure the gasket sits in its correct position without being pinched. Use the application-specific assembly sequence and torque specifications. The intake manifold and other repair components are not included.
