[xj40] Intake Manifold gasket and Fuel Injection bits

XJ40
1

OK - I forgot to note something for re-assembly, but I think I remember how it
goes.

When replacing the intake manifold, starting from the head, one should install
the gasket first, then the standards/clips for the fuel injection wiring, then
the manifold, yes ? Then the ground wire cluster for the fuel injection gets
tightened on the outside of the manifold betwixt the manifold and the fastener ?

AND - I have (3) pieces for the gasket, though I only removed one. The “new”
gasket has a thick bit, and two paper thin bits - I make a sandwich w/ the thin
bits on the outside, yes ?

Thanks !

John,

Paper gasket, spacer, paper gasket, manifold.
The center bit is to reduce the heat on the manifold from the head.

Any mounts or wires go under a bolt or nut that holds the manifold
on, not under the manifold, which needs to seal air tight.

AND - I have (3) pieces for the gasket, though I only removed
one. The “new”
gasket has a thick bit, and two paper thin bits - I make a

Yes.
What was the original setup like?
Someone must have been in there before, doing a bodge job.
The car will likely run much better when hot with the correct
gasket and spacers.
