(10) Install the power steering pump and bracket
assembly to the water pump and intake manifold.
Hand start the three (3) tensioner bracket to p/s
pump to intake manifold bolts and the two (2) ten-
sioner bracket to water pump bolts.
(11) Tighten the power steering pump bolts to 28
N·m (21 ft. lbs.) Tighten the tensioner bracket to
water pump bolts to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.).
(12) Connect the accelerator cable, cruise control
cable (if equipped), and the transmission line pres-
sure cable (if equipped) to the hold-down bracket and
the throttle lever.
(13) Install and tension the accessory drive belt.
Refer to Group 7, Cooling System for the proper pro-
cedure.
CAUTION: Ensure that the accessory drive belt is
routed correctly. Failure to do so can cause the
water pump to turn in the opposite direction result-
ing in engine overheating. Refer to Group 7, Cool-
ing System for the proper procedure.
(14) Connect the air inlet hose and resonator to
the throttle body and the air cleaner.
(15) Connect the battery negative cable.
(16) Start the engine and check for leaks.
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(2) Raise the vehicle.
(3) Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the engine
exhaust manifold.
(4) Lower the vehicle.
(5) Remove intake manifold (refer to procedure in
this section)
(6) Remove fasteners 2 through 5 and remove the
intake manifold (Fig. 51).
(7) Remove fasteners 1, 6 and 7 and remove the
engine exhaust manifold (Fig. 51).
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean the intake and engine exhaust manifolds
and cylinder head mating surfaces. DO NOT allow
foreign material to enter either the intake man-
ifold or the ports in the cylinder head.
(2) Install a new intake manifold gasket over the
alignment dowels on the cylinder head.
(3) Install the engine exhaust manifold assembly.
Exhaust manifold must be centrally located
over the end studs and spacer (Fig. 51).
(4) Tighten bolt No.1 to 41 N·m (30 ft. lbs.) torque
(Fig. 51).
(5) Install the intake manifold on the cylinder
head dowels (Fig. 51).
(6) Install bolts 2 through 5 (Fig. 51). Tighten
these bolts to 31 N·m (23 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Install new engine exhaust manifold spacers
over the engine exhaust manifold mounting studs in
the cylinder head (Fig. 51).
(8) Tighten nuts 6 and 7 to 23 N·m (17 ft. lbs.)
torque (Fig. 51).
(9) Install all components to the intake manifold.
(10) Raise the vehicle.
(11) Connect the exhaust pipe to the engine
exhaust manifold. Tighten the bolts to 31 N·m (23 ft.
lbs.) torque.
(12) Lower the vehicle.
(13) Connect the battery negative cable.
(14) Start the engine and check for leaks.
CYLINDER HEAD COVER
A cured gasket is part of the engine cylinder head
cover.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Disconnect the Crankcase Ventilation (CCV)
vacuum hose from engine cylinder head cover (Fig.
52).
(3) Remove the air inlet hose and resonator from
the air cleaner and throttle body.
(4) Remove the engine cylinder head cover mount-
ing bolts.
(5) Remove the engine cylinder head cover (Fig.
