Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When do I need to replace these intake manifold washers?
A: Any time the intake manifold is removed — common during oil filter housing replacement, spark plug changes (rear bank), thermostat replacement, or addressing P0171/P0174 lean codes caused by intake leaks.
Q: Are these washers reusable?
A: No. Intake manifold gaskets are crush-type seals designed for one-time use. Reusing old gaskets risks vacuum leaks and lean codes. Always replace with new washers when the manifold is removed.
Q: Does this fit both the upper and lower intake?
A: Yes. This kit includes washers for both the upper intake plenum and the lower intake runners — a complete set for full manifold service.
Q: Is this the same as Mopar MS97204?
A: Yes. This set is a direct aftermarket replacement for Mopar part numbers 5184562AC and MS97204, manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
