intake manifold washers?

[Dale .D]

Hello.Not totally clear on an article about the intake manifold installation.It says(Make sure the 4 central 15 mm mounting bolts use the 5 16ths thick washers,with the thinner 1 16ths washers on the 2 end bolts)I'm sure this is very obvious but can some explain ferther.I have new bolts & thick washers from ogts.Do I just need a couple of thin washers for the end exhaust bolts . Thanks

The tip refers to placement of the original, thin, washers. Newer bolts, all have the thicker washers, so as long as old bolts with thin washers aren't holding the intake in place, it'll be supported correctly.

Thanks Mr D.Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything

The thick washers bridge across between the intake and exhaust manifolds to hold them both on - the two end bolts just go through the end holes on the exhaust manifold alone so don't need to be quite so strong. You can use all thick ones if you have them - but thin ones used to bridge the gap just 'saucer' and let the manifolds leak.
Looks like you are on to it anyway!
