    Object Number: 36635 Size: SH
  1. Install the exhaust manifold gasket to the cylinder head.
  2. Install the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head.

    4. Tighten
    Tighten the bolts and studs to 12 N·m (107 lb in).

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

    Important: When you remove the EGR tube from the left exhaust manifold, inspect the outlet pipe for leaks during installation. Replace the EGR adapter if the pipe leaks.
