PROCEDURE
INSTALL NO. 1 MANIFOLD CONVERTER INSULATOR
Install the No. 1 manifold converter insulator to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL NO. 2 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 2 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD CONVERTER SUB-ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front Catalyst)
Install a new exhaust manifold to head gasket to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
Temporarily install the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 5 nuts.
Tighten the 5 nuts in the order shown in the illustration.

INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 1 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL NO. 2 MANIFOLD STAY
Install the No. 2 manifold stay to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and stiffening crankcase assembly with the bolt and nut.
INSTALL MANIFOLD STAY
Install the manifold stay to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and stiffening crankcase assembly with the bolt and nut.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the 2 compression springs.
| Minimum | 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst).
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the 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.
Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 compression springs and 4 bolts.
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 is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
