Install the intake manifold and tighten the nuts in a
crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning
with the inner nuts (see pages 9-2 thru 9-4).
. Always use a new intake manifold gasket.
Install the exhaust manifold and tighten the nuts in
a crisscross pattern in two or three steps, beginning
with the inner nut {see pages 9-6 and g-7).
. Always use a new exhaust manifold gasket.

Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at the
four corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Pan No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old

(top of the semicircles)
Set the spark plug seal on the spark plug tube.
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
NOTE:
. Before installing the cylinder head cover, clean
the cylinder head contacting surfaces with a
shop towel.
. Do not touch the parts where liquid gasket was
aDolied.
. Take care not to damage the spark plug seals
when installing the cylinder head cover,
