To seal the joint between the flanges of the cylinder head and the intake manifold, as well as between the flanges of the throttle assembly and the intake manifold, sealing rings are installed in the grooves of the intake manifold pipes

If the tightness of these rings is violated, the engine runs unevenly (“troit”).

When air is sucked in through the intake manifold, pops from the exhaust pipe may occur. There are also interruptions in the operation of the engine and a decrease in power.

During this malfunction, the engine consumes more gasoline.
