- Install the intake manifold, fitting the plenum duct over the intake manifold duct.
- Loosely install the intake manifold bolts.
- Tighten the intake manifold bolts in sequence (1-10).
- Tighten the plenum duct clamp (1) to the intake manifold.
- Inspect the fuel injector O-rings. Ensure the fuel injector O-rings are not missing, mis-aligned or damaged. Replace the O-rings if necessary.
- Lubricate the intake manifold fuel injector bores with light mineral oil GM P/N 9981704, clean engine oil, or equivalent.
- Install the fuel rail fuel injectors as an assembly.
- Install the fuel rail studs.
- Install the fuel rail bracket nut to the engine lift bracket.
- Install the fuel injector wiring harness.
- Connect the fuel injector electrical connectors (1) to the fuel injectors.
- Install the PCV dirty air tube to the PCV orifice in the right camshaft cover and to the intake manifold.
- Install the PCV fresh air feed tube to the camshaft cover and the water crossover.
- Install the fuel pressure regulator vacuum tube to the fuel pressure regulator and the throttle body.
- Install the brake booster hose to the throttle body.
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.
