Exhaust Manifold Installation - Right Side W/O RPO NC1 or NF7


    Object Number: 350278 Size: SH

    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.

  1. If the engine is equipped with coolant heaters, install the right side (1) heater as follows:
    2. 1.1. Place the coolant heater (1) in position on the cylinder block.
    1.2. Install the coolant heater bolt.

    Tighten
    Tighten the coolant heater bolt to 10 N·m (89 lb in).


    Object Number: 315065 Size: SH
  2. Position a new manifold gasket (1) in place on the cylinder head studs.
  3. Using two hands, position the manifold (2) onto the cylinder head.
  4. Install two outer manifold nuts (3) to hold the manifold in place.
  5. Install the remaining manifold nuts.

    6. Tighten
    Tighten the exhaust manifold nuts (3) to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).


    Object Number: 331281 Size: SH
  6. Coat the oxygen sensor threads with high temperature anti-seize, GM P/N 12377953 or equivalent.
  7. Install the oxygen sensor (1).

    8. Tighten
    Tighten the oxygen sensor to 40 N·m (30 lb ft).


    Object Number: 315068 Size: SH
  8. Place the exhaust intermediate pipe (2) in position.
  9. Install the intermediate pipe stud at the cylinder head (3) and the bolt at the lower crankcase (1).

    10. Tighten

    1. Tighten the intermediate pipe-to-lower crankcase bolt (1) to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
    2. Tighten the intermediate pipe-to-cylinder head stud (3) to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).

    Object Number: 651462 Size: SH

    Important: The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve inlet pipe incorporates a crush seal connection at the water crossover. The EGR valve inlet pipe must be replaced if disconnected from the water crossover.

  10. Hand start the NEW EGR inlet tube to intermediate pipe nut (1) to prevent crossthreading.

    11. Tighten
    Tighten the EGR inlet tube-to-intermediate pipe nut to 60 N·m (44 lb ft).

  11. Connect the EGR inlet pipe flange (3) to the water crossover.
  12. Install the EGR inlet pipe to water crossover flange bolt (2).

    13. Tighten
    Tighten the EGR inlet tube to water crossover bolt to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
