Exhaust Manifold: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are two different exhaust manifolds that are used on the 2.4L engine. The PZEV manifold has a check valve attached to it. Each manifold has a different torque sequence that must be followed.

  1. Install new exhaust manifold gasket. DO NOT APPLY SEALER  .
  2. Position exhaust manifold in place. Tighten fasteners in sequence shown in Fig 1 for non-PZEV engines to 23 N.m (200 in. lbs.). For PZEV engines tighten bolts to 23 N.m (200 in. lbs.). Repeat this procedure until all fasteners are at specified torque. See Fig 2.
