INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion

Check the surface distortion of the intake manifold mating sur-
faces with straightedge and feeler gauge.

If it exceeds the limit, replace intake manifold.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Intake Manifold

If stud bolts were removed, install them and tighten to the specified torque below.

Position the direction of embossed letter at the edge as shown
in the figure, and install intake manifold.

Tighten all mounting nuts and bolts to the specified torque in two
or more steps in numerical order shown in the figure.Limit : 0.1 mm (0.004 in)

gen sensor 1.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 1.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor 1 which has been
dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor;
replace with a new sensor.
NOTE:
Figure is shown as an example of left bank.
6. Disconnect harness connector and remove heated oxygen sen-
sor 2 on both banks with heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST).

Put marks to identify installation positions of each heated oxy-
gen sensor 2.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 which has been
dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor;
replace with a new sensor.
7. Remove exhaust manifold covers (right and left banks) and three way catalyst covers.
8. Remove mounting bolts in the reverse order as shown in the fig-
ure to remove three way catalyst supports (right and left banks).
9. Remove three way catalysts (right and left banks) by loosening bolts first and then removing nuts.
CAUTION:
Handle carefully to avoid any shock to three way catalyst.
