PROCEDURE
INSTALL NO. 2 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 2 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold with the 3 bolts.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD
Install a new exhaust manifold to head gasket.
Temporarily install the exhaust manifold and manifold stay with 5 new nuts and the 3 bolts.
Tighten the exhaust manifold with the 5 nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
| *A | Type A | *B | Type B |
| *a | 18 mm (0.709 in.) | *b | 17 mm (0.669 in.) |
Tighten the 3 bolts.
INSTALL DRIVE SHAFT HEAT INSULATOR SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install the 2 drive shaft heat insulator sub-assemblies with the 2 nuts.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst)
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
| Minimum (front) | 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
| Minimum (rear) | 38.5 mm (1.52 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install 2 new gaskets to the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst).
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold and Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in each gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst).
Note
Be sure to install the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gaskets.
Do not damage the gaskets.
Do not push in the gaskets by using the exhaust pipes when connecting them.
Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold |
| *2 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) |
| *3 | Gasket |
| *a | Space Between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust manifold with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) |
| *2 | Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *3 | Gasket |
| *a | Space Between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.) |
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) to the center exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) and center exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector and engage the wire harness clamp.
INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE
INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 1 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold with the 4 bolts.
