Intake Manifold: Installation
- Clean sealing surfaces. Apply a 1/4" diameter drop of Sealant (4318025) in 4 corners of intake manifold-to-cylinder head contact areas.
- Install intake manifold gasket. Tighten intake manifold gasket end seal retaining screws to 105 INCH lbs. (12 N.m). Install intake manifold. Tighten manifold bolts to specification in proper sequence. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS at end of this article.
- To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Clean injector holes. Lubricate injector "O" rings with engine oil before installation. Install injector until firmly seated in port.
- Tighten air intake plenum bolts to specification and in sequence. See Figure . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS at end of this article. Install fuel lines until a "click" is heard. Fuel supply line is a 5/16" diameter fitting and fuel return line is a 1/4" fitting.
- To fill and bleed cooling system, remove engine temperature sending unit. Sending unit is located in front of thermostat housing, near spark plug wire holder. Fill cooling system until coolant reaches this level. Install sending unit and tighten to 60 INCH lbs. (7 N.m). Finish filling cooling system.
