Description
This intake manifold gasket seals the gap between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
These gaskets are located in between the intake manifold and the cylinder heads, and while gaskets may seem like a simple part of the engine, they are not immune to failure. Numerous heating and cooling cycles will eventually take their toll on gaskets causing them to crack. Once a gasket cracks, it will no longer do its job properly, in this instance leading to a vacuum leak.
If you suspect an intake manifold gasket is leaking, or if you are just removing the intake manifold for service, intake manifold gaskets must be replaced.
