Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Install exhaust manifold gasket with its directional protrusion set
upward.
Exhaust Manifold
Install exhaust manifold and tighten mounting nuts in numerical
order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Tighten mounting nuts No. 1 to 4 in two steps. The numerical
order No. 9 to 12 shown second steps.
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor
CAUTION:
Before installing a new air fuel ratio sensor 1, clean exhaust system threads using oxygen sensor
thread cleaner (commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12), and apply anti-seize lubricant
(commercial service tool).
Do not over torque air fuel ratio sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the air fuel ratio sensor 1,
resulting in “MIL” coming on.
