4. Check that the gasket surfaces of the intake
manifold and cylinder heads are clean and free
of any nicks or damage.
5. Install new intake manifold gaskets onto the port
surfaces of the cylinder heads. The use of gasket
adhesive to prevent movement, will aid installation.
Lower the intake manifold down and forward, into
position on the gaskets and cylinder heads. Install
and finger tighten the hex. flange screws in their
appropriate locations to prevent the manifold from
shifting, except for the two shorter length screws on
the #1 side. These screws secure the wiring
harness, the installation of which will follow, as well
as the final torquing of the intake manifold.

11-52, and out through the openings in the
blower housing. See Figure 11-53. Attach the
clip encasing the wiring harness and the shorter

closest to the crankshaft. Attach the remaining
longer ground lead with the short screw furthest
