I wish the guy explained exactly what was attached to the back of the intake manifold. I am currently struggling to get it out. There seems to be some kind of tubing or wiring still attached to the back of it and I can't see it.
In stead of using the silicone bead around the inlets for the manifold just use the medal gasket with the rubber inserts, a lot easier quicker and a lot cleaner.
A fairly common problem, I think. Is it being caused by heat affecting the gaskets particularly if the fluid level drops a bit below their level. Can the repair include a heat resistant silicon bed that reduces the likelihood of a future leak?
Using the more expensive o-ring equipped gaskets like he did negates the need for gasket goo, and they become reusable - ie next time they will not shred.
So it's easy to do? Just take of manifold and remove old gaskets, put glue stuff on where the new gaskets go and glue on the gaskets and reassemble? Don't need to do mine yet but ain't paying some goon 200 dollars for something that seems kinda easy
Tip...remove the hoses before you get to the manifold bolts...
I gave up watching the moment gasket goo came out...fucked my whole day..
I use aviation gasket sealant on gaskets and rubber seals . It's brown sticky substance that never dries .

I just did this job and I couldn’t believe only 2 small bolts hold that inlet pipe on!

Terrible design with the manifold blocking access to all spark plugs.
Hi mate,
Where do u buy the rubbers from the gasket

How many ks on engine when you had to replace these parts?
