PROCEDURE
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.
| Minimum Length |
|---|
| 41.5 mm (1.634 in.) |
Tech Tips
If the length is not as specified, replace the compression spring.
| *1 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *2 | Wooden Block |
| *3 | Plastic Hammer |
| *4 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly |
Using a plastic hammer and a wooden block, tap in a new exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.
Note
Install the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket by dropping it, etc.
Do not damage the outer surface of the gasket.
Do not push in the gasket with the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
Hang the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *3 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Space between flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Install the front exhaust pipe sub-assembly to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.
Note
After the installation, check that the gaps between the flanges of the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly and front exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
INSTALL NO. 2 HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
INSTALL FRONT FLOOR CENTER BRACE
INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.
| Minimum Length |
|---|
| 38.5 mm (1.516 in.) |
Tech Tips
If the length is not as specified, replace the compression spring.
| *1 | No. 2 Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *2 | Wooden Block |
| *3 | Plastic Hammer |
| *4 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
Using a plastic hammer and a wooden block, tap in a new No. 2 exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Note
Install the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket by dropping it, etc.
Do not damage the outer surface of the gasket.
Do not push in the gasket with the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
Hang the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 exhaust pipe supports.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *2 | Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *3 | No. 2 Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Space between flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.) |
Install the front exhaust pipe sub-assembly to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.
Note
After the installation, check that the gaps between the flanges of the front exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
