CLEANING
(1) Discard gasket(s).
(2) Clean all sealing surfaces.
INSPECTION
Check manifold for:
²Damage and cracks.
²Mounting surface distortion by using a straight-
edge and thickness gauge.
INSTALLATION - 3.3L
(1) If the following components were removed from
manifold, install and tighten to specifications:
CAUTION: The special screws used for the compos-
ite manifold attached components must be installed
slowly using hand tools only. This requirement is to
prevent the melting of material that causes stripped
threads. If threads become stripped, an oversize
repair screw is available. For more information and
procedure (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/IN-
TAKE MANIFOLD - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
²MAP sensor - 1.7 N´m (15 in. lbs.)
²Throttle cable bracket - 5.6 N´m (50 in. lbs.)
(2) Remove covering on lower intake manifold and
clean surfaces.
(3) Inspect manifold gasket condition. Gaskets can
be re-used, if not damaged. To replace, remove gasket
from upper manifold (Fig. 127). Position new gasket
in seal channel and press lightly in-place. Repeat
procedure for each gasket position.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The exhaust manifolds are log type and made of
Hi-Sil-Moly (high temperature resistant) nodular cast
iron. The exhaust manifolds are attached directly to
the cylinder heads and a cross-over pipe connects the
two manifolds.
OPERATION
The exhaust manifolds collects the exhaust gases
exiting the combustion chambers. It then channels
the exhaust gases to the exhaust pipe that is
attached to the rear (right side) manifold.

(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the wiper module. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER MODULE -

(3) Disconnect spark plug wires.
(4) Remove bolts fastening crossover pipe to
exhaust manifold (Fig. 141).
(5) Disconnect and remove the upstream oxygen
sensor (Fig. 144).

INSPECTION
Inspect exhaust manifolds for damage or cracks
and check distortion of the cylinder head mounting
surface and exhaust crossover mounting surface with
a straightedge and thickness gauge (Fig. 145).
Manifold surface flatness limits should not exceed
1.0 mm (0.039 in.).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position exhaust manifold on cylinder head and
install bolts to center runner (cylinder #3) and initial
tighten to 2.8 N´m (25 in. lbs.) (Fig. 144)

INSPECTION
Inspect exhaust manifolds for damage or cracks
and check distortion of the cylinder head mounting
surface and exhaust crossover mounting surface with
a straightedge and thickness gauge (Fig. 148).
Manifold surface flatness limits should not exceed
1.0 mm (0.039 in.).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position exhaust manifold on cylinder head
(Fig. 147). Install bolts to center runner (cylinder #4)
and initial tighten to 2.8 N´m (25 in. lbs.).
(2) Using a new gasket, attach crossover pipe to
exhaust manifold and tighten bolts to 41 N´m (30 ft.
lbs.) (Fig. 146).
NOTE: Inspect crossover pipe fasteners for damage
from heat and corrosion. The cross-over bolts are
made of a special stainless steel alloy. If replace-
ment is required, OEM bolts are highly recom-
mended.
(3) Position heat shield on manifold (Fig. 147).
(4) Install the remaining manifold attaching bolts.
Tighten all bolts to 23 N´m (200 in. lbs.).
(5) Install and tighten heat shield attaching nut to
12 N´m (105 in. lbs.) (Fig. 147).
(6) Connect battery negative cable.
VALVE TIMING
VALVE TIMING VERIFICATION
(1) Remove front cylinder head cover and all 6
spark plugs.(2) Rotate engine until the #2 piston is at TDC of
the compression stroke.
(3) Install a degree wheel on the crankshaft pulley.
(4) With proper adaptor, install a dial indicator
into #2 spark plug hole. Using the indicator find TDC
on the compression stroke.
(5) Position the degree wheel to zero.
(6) Remove dial indicator from spark plug hole.
(7) Place a 5.08 mm (0.200 in.) spacer between the
valve stem tip of #2 intake valve and rocker arm pad.
Allow tappet to bleed down to give a solid tappet
effect.
(8) Install a dial indicator so plunger contacts the
#2 intake valve spring retainer as nearly perpendic-
ular as possible. Zero the indicator.
(9) Rotate the engine clockwise until the intake
valve has lifted .254 mm (0.010 in.).
CAUTION: Do not turn crankshaft any further clock-
wise as intake valve might bottom and result in
serious damage.
(10) Degree wheel should read 6 degrees BTDC to
6 degrees ATDC.
