Should it become necessary to replace an exhaust manifold on a 1990 or 1991 Geo Storm equipped with the base 1.6L SOHC (Vin Code 6) engine, an improved manifold, P/N 97061518 with increased durability has been released. (IMPORTANT: This does not apply to the 1990 California base engine.) This is the same manifold used in the 1992 Geo Storm.
The new P/N 97061518 is currently available from GMSPO.
Use applicable labor time guide for labor hours.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
