INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 2 Sensor 1)




a. Using SST, install the sensor to the exhaust manifold LH.

SST 09224-00010

Torque:
40 Nm (408 kgf.cm, 30 ft. lbs.) for use with SST
44 Nm (449 kgf.cm, 32 ft. lbs.) for use without SST

HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).
- Make sure that SST and wrench are connected in a straight line.




b. Connect the sensor connector.

2. INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Bank 1 Sensor 1)
a. Using SST, install the sensor to the exhaust manifold RH.

SST 09224-00010

Torque:
40 Nm (408 kgf.cm, 30 ft. lbs.) for use with SST
44 Nm (449 kgf.cm, 32 ft. lbs.) for use without SST

HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30cm (11.81 in.).
- Make sure that SST and wrench are connected in a straight line.

3. INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD RH




a. Install the exhaust manifold RH with a new gasket and 6 nuts.

Torque: 21 Nm (214 kgf.cm, 15 ft. lbs.)




b. Install the exhaust manifold stay with the nut and bolt.

Torque: 35 Nm (357 kgf.cm, 26 ft. lbs.)

c. Connect the air fuel ratio sensor (for Bank 1 Sensor 2) connector.

4. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY




a. Check compression springs.
1. Check the compression springs using vernier calipers.

Specified length: 38.86 mm (1.5299 in.)

HINT: If the result is not as specified, replace the compression spring.




b. Install the gasket.
1. Install a new gasket by hand onto the front exhaust pipe assembly.
