Will this gasket work with my intake manifold?

This is a universal 54MM 3-bolt gasket. Verify your manifold has a matching 54MM bore and 3-bolt pattern before ordering — gasket thickness and bolt spacing vary by application.

Do I need sealant or adhesive when installing this?

Gaskets typically benefit from a thin layer of gasket maker or RTV sealant on both sides before bolting down. Check your engine manual for any specific sealing recommendations for your application.

What should I do to prepare the mounting surfaces?

Clean both mating surfaces with a gasket scraper or soft brass brush to remove old gasket material and debris. A smooth, dry surface ensures a tight seal when you torque the bolts down.
