PROCEDURE
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
| Minimum | 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst).
Note
Be sure to install the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket.
Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *2 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) |
| *3 | Gasket |
| *a | Space Between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
