Intake Manifold - Lower: Installation

  1. Clean and inspect sealing surfaces of cylinder head and manifold. Gaskets can be reused provided they are free of cuts or tears.
  2. Position manifold on cylinder head surfaces.
    NOTE: For ease of installing upper intake manifold, install a bolt 2 - 3 turns to the rearmost attaching hole of intake. This will properly position lower manifold.
  3. Install fuel rail with injectors.
  4. Install manifold attaching bolts and tighten in sequence shown in (Fig 1) to 12 N.m (105 in. lbs.). Remove bolt used for aligning manifold.
