EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. 

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.

      Minimum free length
      41.5 mm (1.63 in.)

      If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.

      *1	Gasket
      *2	Wooden Block

      Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold.

      Note

      
      

      • Be sure to install the gasket so that it faces the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

      • When connecting the exhaust pipe, do not push in the gasket with the exhaust pipe.

   3. 

      Install the 2 exhaust pipe supports, and then install the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

      Torque:

      43 N*m  { 439 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

6. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

   If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
