To install:

WARNING
RTV sealer is NOT to be placed under the lower intake manifold gaskets.

  9. Install the lower intake manifold.
    NOTE
    Maximum gasket performance is achieved when using new fasteners, which contain a thread-locking patch. If the fasteners are not replaced, a thread locking chemical must be applied to the fastener threads. Failure to replace the fasteners or apply a thread-locking chemical may reduce gasket sealing capability.
  10. Apply sealer to the lower intake manifold bolt threads.
