PROCEDURE
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO HEAD GASKET LH
Install a new exhaust manifold to head gasket LH to the cylinder head sub-assembly LH.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD SUB-ASSEMBLY LH (TWC: Front Catalyst)
Temporarily install the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) to the cylinder head sub-assembly LH 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
Temporarily 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.
Tighten the bolt and nut in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL NO. 2 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Temporarily install the No. 2 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 3 bolts.
Tighten the 3 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE OIL LEVEL DIPSTICK GUIDE
INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 2)
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Install a new exhaust pipe 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 wire harnesses clamp.
INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST PIPE SUPPORT BRACKET (for Lower Side)
Install the No. 1 exhaust pipe support bracket with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 1)
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD TO HEAD GASKET
Install a new exhaust manifold to head gasket to the cylinder head sub-assembly RH.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD SUB-ASSEMBLY RH (TWC: Front Catalyst)
Temporarily install the exhaust manifold sub-assembly RH (TWC: Front Catalyst) to the cylinder head sub-assembly RH with the 6 nuts.
Using a 12 mm deep socket wrench, tighten the 6 nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
Engage the 2 wire harness clamps.
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 transverse engine mounting bracket with the 2 bolts and nut in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 3 EXHAUST PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the 2 compression springs.
| Standard Length | 43.0 mm (1.69 in.) |
| Minimum Free Length | 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly (exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) side).
| *1 | Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
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 pipes when connecting them.
Install 2 new exhaust pipe 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 4 bolts and 2 nuts.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) and front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
| *1 | Exhaust Forked Pipe Sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) |
| *2 | Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly |
| *3 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Engage the wire harness clamp.
Connect the heated oxygen sensor grommet to the vehicle body.
