MANIFOLD-INTAKE
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAKS
An intake manifold air leak is characterized by lower than normal manifoldvacuum, rough idle, or engine misfire.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN ADIRECT LINE
WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELT OR THE FAN. DO NOT WEAR
LOOSE CLOTHING.
1. Start the engine.
2. Spray a small stream of water (Spray Bottle) at the suspected leak area.
3. If engine RPM’S change, the area of the suspected leak has been found.
4. Repair as required.
REMOVAL
NOTE: Care must be taken to protect the intake
manifold powder coating from scrapes and abra-
sions.
1. Perform the fuel system pressure release proce-
dure,before attempting any repairs.(Refer to 14
- FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - STANDARD
PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
RELEASE PROCEDURE).
2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
3. Disconnect throttle body air inlet duct, IAT sensor,
CCV hose and remove air cleaner cover (Refer to

CLEANING
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Before cleaning, check for leaks, damage and
cracks.
2. Clean cylinder head and oil passages.
3. Check cylinder head for flatness.
4. Inspect all surfaces with a straightedge (2) if there
is any reason to suspect leakage. If out-of-flatness
exceeds 0.019 mm (0.00075 in.) times the span
length in inches in any direction, either replace
head or lightly machine the head surface. As an
example, if a 12.0 inch span is 1.0 mm (0.004 in.)
out-of-flat, allowable is 12 x 0.019 mm (0.00075 in.)
equals 0.22 mm (0.009 in.). This amount of out-of-
flat is acceptable. *Maximum of 0.2 mm (0.008 in.)
for grinding is permitted.
CAUTION: This is a combined total dimension of
stock removal from cylinder head surface.

der head and block using a plastic scraper only.
DO NOT use a metal scraper, as damage to seal-
ing surface may occur.
NOTE: A multi-layer steel head gasket is used.
2. Install new gasket(s) on the engine block. Assure all coolant passages and bolt holes align properly..
