Help! Intake manifold gasket(s)

[PK]

Paul, I haven't had to do mine yet, but the spare gasket set I bought has 3 gaskets in it.
One large lower gasket, and the 2 side gaskets.
It is the side gaskets that are the common point of failure.

Better search here for the revised torque values for the bolts.
The original factory torque was too high, and that is what causes the gaskets to fail.

3 gaskets: 1 upper and 2 lower
I would say the 2 lower ones will let go sooner

Ooops - gotta remember we are down under - everything is upside down down here.
