MANIFOLD - INTAKE
DESCRIPTION
The intake manifold is made of a composite material and features long runners which maximizes low end torque.
The intake manifold uses single plane sealing which consist of eight individual press in place port gaskets to prevent
leaks. Eight studs and two bolts are used to fasten the intake to the head.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAKAGE
An intake manifold air leak is characterized by lower than normal manifoldvacuum. Also, one or more cylinders may
not be functioning.
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, BELTS OR THE FAN. DO NOT WEAR
LOOSE CLOTHING.
1. Start the engine.
2. Spray a small stream of water at the suspected leak area.
3. If a change in RPM is observed the area of the suspected leak has been found.
4. Repair as required.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2. Remove resonator assembly and air inlet hose.
3. Disconnect throttle and speed control cables.
4. Disconnect electrical connectors for the following components:
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

14. Drain cooling system below coolant temperature level (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

MANIFOLD - EXHAUST
DESCRIPTION
The exhaust manifolds are log style with a patented flow enhancing design to maximize performance. The exhaust
manifolds are made of high silicon molybdenum cast iron. A perforated coregraphite exhaust manifold gasket is
used to improve sealing to the cylinder head. The exhaust manifolds are covered by a three layer laminated heat
shield for thermal protection and noise reduction. The heat shields are fastened with a torque prevailing nut that is
backed off slightly to allow for the thermal expansion of the exhaust manifold.
