insert two M6 screws (arrows) in tapped bores and tighten
uniformly until pump is free from timing chain cover (thermo-
stat and hoses have been removed for purposes of visual
clarity).
Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Be sure to replace sealing O-ring and gaskets.
Coat O-ring with water-based lubricant during installation.
Refill with coolant. See Coolant, draining and filling

Exhaust System
The exhaust system is designed to be maintenance free, al-
though regular inspection is warranted due to the harsh oper-
ating conditions. Under normal conditions, the catalytic
converter does not require replacement unless it is damaged.
New fasteners, clamps, rubber mounts and gaskets should
be used when replacing exhaust components.
A liberal appli-
cation of penetrating oil to the exhaust system nuts and bolts
in advance may make removal easier.
WARNING -
The exhaust system and catalytic converter operate at
very high temperatures. Allow components to cool before
servicing. Wear protective clothing to prevent burns.
Do not use flammable chemicals near a hot
cataiyiic
converter.
Corroded exhaust system components crumble easily
and often have exposed sharp edges. To avoid injury,
wear eye protection and heavy gloves when working
Exhaust system, removing and installing
The removal and installation procedures given here are gen-
eral procedures for all models. The removal of the exhaust
system as a complete unit is recommended. Once the com-
plete system is removed from the car, individual pipes and
mufflers can be more easily replaced.
WARNING-
Exhaust gases are colorless, odorless, and very toxic. Run
the engine only in a well-ventilated area. Immediately repair
any
leaks in the exhaust system or structural damage to the
car body that
might allow exhaust gases to enter the passen-
ger compartment.
CAUTION-
Use care not to drag or bang oxygen sensors. Oxygen sen-
sors can be easily ruined.

Exhaust manifold removal procedures are organized accord-
ing to engine code. If necessary, see
100 Engine-General
for engine code and application information.

(M52 engine)
4 Exhaust manifolds for the M52 engine.
Always use new retaining nuts and gaskets when removing
and installing the exhaust manifolds.
- With exhaust system cold, raise and support car for access
to exhaust system.
WARNING -
Do not work under a lined car unless it is solidly supported on
jack stands designed for that purpose. Never work under a
car that is supported solely by a jack.
- Disconnect secondary air check valve and pipe from exhaust
manifold.
- Unbolt front exhaust pipe@) from exhaust rnanifold(s)
- Remove exhaust support bracket from transmission.
- Loosen and remove nuts from exhaust manifolds and remove
manifolds. Discard nuts and gaskets.
NOTE-
On cars with oxygen sensors mounted in the exhaust mani-
folds, use care when removing manifolds.
To be safe, remove
the sensors from the manifolds before removing manifolds.
- Installation is reverse of removal
Coat exhaust manifold mounting studs with copper paste
before installing new nuts.
Install manifold gaskets with arched side facing manifolds.

I Exhaust manifolds with converters I 4 The exhaust manifolds incorporate the catalytic converters.
Two precatalyst and two post-catalyst oxygen sensors are
mounted in the exhaust manifold assembly.
Under normal conditions, the catalytic converters do not re-
quire replacement unless damaged. Always use new retain-
ing nuts and gaskets when removing and installing the
exhaust manifolds.

WARNING-
Do not worlc undera liftedcar unless it is solidly supported on

in order to avoid damaging oxygen sensors:
- Detach oxygen sensor harness connectors,
Remove oxygen sensors from exhaust manifolds as de-
scribed later in this group.
Unbolt and remove secondary air
checkvalve and pipe from
right front of cylinder headlexhaust manifold.
Working underneath car, unbolt front exhaust pipes from ex.
haust manifolds.
With engine supported from above, remove right engine
mount
bracket and right engine mount (arrow).
Loosen and remove nuts from exhaust manifolds and remove
manifolds. Discard nuts and gaskets.

Access to manifolds is extremely limited. If removing exhaust
manifolds as part of additional engine worlc (such as cylinder
head removal), it may be easier to first remove engine.
