Intake Manifold: Installation

NOTE: If the engine is repaired or replaced because of upper engine failure, typically including valve or piston damage, check the intake manifold for metal debris. If metal debris if found, install a new intake manifold. Failure to follow these instructions can result in engine damage.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Tighten the bolts in 2 stages.
Torque: Stage 1: Bolts 1 through 8 in sequence: : 44 lb. in (5 Nm) Stage 2: Bolts 8 through 1 in reverse sequence: : 89 lb. in (10 Nm)
