- Clean mating surfaces of manifolds and cylinder head. Lightly coat mating surfaces with graphite grease. If installing new exhaust manifolds, install exhaust manifolds without gaskets. Install new intake/exhaust manifold gasket on cylinder head.NOTE: The EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube is only on the rear exhaust manifold. If installing original exhaust manifolds, install NEW exhaust manifold gaskets.
- Position lower intake/exhaust manifold assembly on cylinder head. Ensure gasket remains in position. Tighten bolts and nuts in sequence to specification. See Fig 1. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Connect power brake vacuum line. Connect dual converter Y pipe to the front and rear exhaust manifolds. Tighten lockwashers and nuts to 34-49 Nm (25-36 lb-ft).
- Install generator mounting bracket and three bolts finger-tight. Install nut finger-tight. a. Tighten bottom rear bolt to 30-40 Nm (22-30 lb-ft). b. Tighten center bolts to 30-40 Nm (22-30 lb-ft). c. Tighten nut to 30-40 Nm (22-30 lb-ft). d. Tighten bottom front bolt to 30-40 Nm (22-30 lb-ft).
- Install secondary air injection pump and tighten top bolt to 28-42 Nm (21-31 lb-ft). Tighten bottom bolt to 41-54 Nm (30-39 lb-ft). Install secondary air injection pump pulley and tighten screws to 12-15 Nm (9-11 lb-ft). Connect air pump hoses.
- Install generator and tighten bottom bolt to 53-72 Nm (39-53 lb-ft). Tighten top bolt to 22-28 Nm (16- 21 lb-ft). Connect generator wiring. Position drive belt.
- Using 3/8-inch flex handle, rotate drive belt tensioner and place accessory drive belt. Slowly release drive belt tensioner onto drive belt tensioning drive belt. Install heat shield and two clips.
- Reconnect all vacuum lines. Install the upper intake manifold and throttle body.
- Connect fuel lines to fuel injection supply manifold. Connect two heated oxygen sensors.
- Connect engine control sensor wiring to powertrain control module. Connect the accelerator cable to the throttle body. Install accelerator control splash shield.
- Install air cleaner outlet tube and PVC air inlet hose at the crankcase vent filter. Connect battery ground cable.
