PROCEDURE
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO HEAD GASKET LH
Install a new exhaust manifold to head gasket LH to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 1)
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (TWC: Front Catalyst).
Temporarily install the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 6 nuts.
Using a 12 mm deep socket wrench, tighten the 6 nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL NO. 2 MANIFOLD STAY
Install the No. 2 manifold stay to the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) and cylinder block sub-assembly with the bolt and nut in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL NO. 2 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 2 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 3 bolts.
INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE OIL LEVEL DIPSTICK GUIDE
INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 2)
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 2 nuts.
Connect the heated oxygen sensor (for Bank 2) connector.
Engage the 3 wire harnesses clamps.
INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST PIPE SUPPORT BRACKET (for Lower Side)
Install the No. 1 exhaust pipe support bracket with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO HEAD GASKET
Install a new exhaust manifold to head gasket to the cylinder head sub-assembly.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD SUB-ASSEMBLY RH (TWC: Front Catalyst)
Using a 12 mm deep socket wrench, install the exhaust manifold sub-assembly RH (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 6 nuts.
Engage the wire harness clamp.
Connect the air fuel ratio sensor (for Bank 1) connector.
INSTALL MANIFOLD STAY
Install the manifold stay to the exhaust manifold sub-assembly RH (TWC: Front Catalyst) and automatic transaxle assembly with bolt and nut.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 3 EXHAUST PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY
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 minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install a new gasket to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly (center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) side).
| *1 | Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
Note
Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
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 2 new gaskets to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
Temporarily install the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly with the 4 bolts, 2 nuts and 2 compression springs.
Tighten the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Tighten the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) and front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
| *1 | Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) |
| *2 | Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly |
| *3 | Gasket |
| *a | Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Connect the heated oxygen sensor (for Bank 1) connector.
Engage the 4 wire harness clamps.
