- Install the intake manifold.
- Connect the throttle body
heater hose to the water crossover feed tube (1).
- Install the hose clamp.
- Loosely install the intake
manifold bolts.
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.
- Tighten the intake
manifold bolts in sequence (1-8) as shown.
Tighten
Tighten the intake manifold bolts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
- 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 with fuel injectors as an assembly.
- Inspect the fuel injector
O-rings (2) for misalignment or damage. Replace the O-rings if necessary.
- Install the fuel rail (1) and fuel injectors (2)
by aligning the fuel injectors with their respective ports and pressing the
four fuel rail snap-lock connectors into the intake manifold until they
lock in place. DO NOT apply excessive pressure to the fuel rail in place.
The need for excessive pressure may be caused by misalignment of a fuel
injector and could cause damage to the seal or intake manifold.
Important: The EGR valve outlet pipe incorporates a crush seal connection at the
water crossover. The EGR valve outlet pipe must be replaced if disconnected
from the water crossover.
- Install the NEW EGR outlet pipe with NEW O-ring seal.
- Install the EGR outlet pipe to intake manifold bolt.
Tighten
Tighten the EGR outlet pipe to intake manifold bolt to 10 N·m
(89 lb in).
- Install the EGR outlet pipe to water crossover bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the EGR outlet pipe to water crossover bolts to 24 N·m
(18 lb ft).
- Install the PCV valve
and connect both feed tubes (1, 2) to the camshaft covers and intake
manifold.
- Connect the fuel pressure
regulator vacuum tube (1) to the regulator (2) and the throttle
body (3).
