An exhaust manifold (engines 2.0 l / 2.4 l, type 1).
1 - heat shield, 2 - engine mount bracket, 3 - exhaust manifold, 4 - exhaust manifold gasket, 5 - gasket, 6 - exhaust pipe.
Note: Models with 2.0L/2.4L engines also had an exhaust manifold (type 2), combined with a catalytic converter.
An exhaust manifold (engine 2.7 l, type 1).
1 - heat shield, 2 - exhaust manifold, 3 - gasket, 4 - oxygen sensor, 5 - exhaust pipe.
An exhaust manifold (engine 2.7 l, type 2).
1 - heat shield, 2 - left cylinder head exhaust manifold, 3 - right cylinder head exhaust manifold, 4 - exhaust manifold gasket, 5 - gasket, 6 - exhaust pipe, 7 - oxygen sensor.
Removal and installation
1. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield.
2.0L / 2.4L engines | 
Engine 2.7 l. |
2. Remove the exhaust manifold assembly from the cylinder head.
Engine 2.7 l.
3. Remove the exhaust manifold gasket.
4. Install the exhaust manifold on the gasket and tighten the nuts to nominal torque.
Torque:
- 2.0L/2.4L engines:
- M8: 25-30 Nm
- M10: 35-55 Nm
- 2.7L engine: 25-30 Nm
Caution: Replace the exhaust manifold gasket with a new one before reinstalling.
Note: After removing the self-locking nuts, replace them with new ones.
5. Install the heat shield.
Examination
1. Check up a final collector on absence of cracks and damages.
2. Using a precision ruler and a flat feeler gauge, measure the warpage (flatness) mating surface of the exhaust manifold.
Non-flatness of the mating surface:
- Rated: less than 0.15mm
- Maximum allowable: 0.30 mm
