php gasket question

[whitey]

Quick questions. What side (bottom/top) does the gasket suppplied go on? Also can i reuse the original gasket on the intake? And last...what are the torque specs on the bolts? Thanks guys

i reused the one from the car with the new one (either way you would like to put them) and sandwiched the spacer in between them and the torque im not sure but just be mindful this is a alum manifold meaning stupid easy to strip the threads out of them and also you are going to have to fight with the egr to get it to set right... hope this helps

I reused the gasket and didn't torque but made tight enough. You'll instantly feel the throttle response!

10Nm or 89 lb-in in the proper sequence.

^^^ what FBM said^^^

As far as re-using the original gasket, that's acceptable as long as all the the little blue pathways are intact. The original gasket on Phoebe auto-disassembled when I installed the spacer, so I had to buy one more (kit comes with one).
