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 and a new EGR cooler gasket.
Temporarily install the exhaust manifold and manifold stay with the 7 nuts and 3 bolts.
Tech Tips
The type B and type C are non-reusable.
Tighten the 7 nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
| *A | Type A | *B | Type B |
| *C | Type C | - | - |
| *a | 18 mm (0.709 in.) | *b | 17 mm (0.669 in.) |
Tighten the 3 bolts.
INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 1 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold with the 3 bolts.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR
Install the front No. 1 floor heat insulator with the 3 nuts.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) (w/ Exhaust Heat Recirculation System)
Note
When installing the water hose, ensure that the exhaust heat recirculation system is filled with coolant. Otherwise, the engine water pump assembly may be damaged.
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 minimum, replace the compression spring.
Fully 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 new 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 gaskets 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.) |
Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust manifold with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
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) is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) |
| *2 | Tail 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 tail 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 tail exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
Connect the 2 heater water hoses and slide the 2 clips to secure them.
Connect the 3 clamps and oxygen sensor connector.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) (w/o Exhaust Heat Recirculation System)
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 minimum, replace the compression spring.
