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) to the cylinder head sub-assembly with the 5 nuts.
Temporarily 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.
Temporarily install the manifold stay to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and stiffening crankcase assembly with the bolt and nut.
Tighten the 5 nuts in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL MANIFOLD STAY
Tighten the bolt and nut in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL NO. 2 MANIFOLD STAY
Tighten the bolt and nut in the order shown in the illustration.
INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR
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 FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
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 minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst).
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *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 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 exhaust pipe gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) with the 2 compression springs, 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.
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *2 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *3 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
