12 Remove the three bolts (1), attaching the exhaust
manifold inner heat shield to the exhaust manifold.

13 Using a suitable commercially available non-corrosive cleaning solvent and a soft bristled parts cleaning
brush, thoroughly clean the exhaust manifold.
14 Dry the exhaust manifold using compressed air.

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
Figure 6A1 – 59
NOTE
• The same procedure applies to the Right-
hand exhaust manifold.

• To gain access to the lower rear exhaust
manifold attaching bolts (2), apply a slight
downward movement to the coolant inlet
pipe (1).

Inspect
Inspect the exhaust manifold (1) for the following:
• Damage to the threaded holes for the heat shield
mounting.
• Damage to the exhaust manifold mounting holes.
• Damage to the threads of the exhaust manifold to
exhaust pipe flange studs.
• Damage to the gasket sealing surfaces.
• Using a straight edge (2) and feeler gauges (3), check
the cylinder head mounting face of the exhaust
manifold does not exceed the maximum distortion
specification of 0.25mm.
NOTE
If the surface flatness is not within
specifications, the exhaust manifold is warped
and must be replaced.
Figure 6A1 – 60
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the exhaust manifold assembly is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Ensure the exhaust manifold, cylinder head and exhaust pipe flange surfaces are clean.

2 Position a new exhaust manifold gasket onto the exhaust manifold.
3 Apply a 5 mm bead of Loctite 272 thread sealant (or equivalent) to the threads of the exhaust manifold attaching bolts.
4 Install the bolts into the exhaust manifold. This will prevent the gasket from falling off the manifold.
5 Manoeuvre the exhaust manifold into position and install the exhaust manifold attaching bolts.
6 From underneath the vehicle install the exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe flange nuts.
7 Tighten the exhaust manifold attaching bolts to the correct torque specification.
NOTE
When tightening the exhaust manifold to cylinder
head attaching bolts, begin with the centre bolts,
then alternate from side to side to the outer bolts.
Exhaust manifold to cylinder head
attaching bolt torque specification ...........17.0 – 23.0 Nm
8 Apply an anti seize compound such as Caltex Kopr-Kote (or equivalent) to the cleaned heat shield bolt threads. Install the heat shield attaching bolts and tighten to the correct torque specification.
Exhaust manifold heat shield attaching
bolt torque specification ............................8.0 – 12.0 Nm
9 For the right-hand side, install the battery harness ground cable attaching nut through the ground terminal and lower coolant tube mounting lug, and tighten to the correct torque specification.
Battery harness ground terminal
attaching nut torque specification.......................13.0 Nm
