Intake Manifold Installation





1. Important:
^ The intake manifold, throttle body, fuel injection rail and fuel injectors may be removed as an assembly. If not servicing the individual components, install the intake manifold as a complete assembly.
^ DO NOT use the old intake manifold gaskets again. Install NEW intake manifold-to-cylinder head gaskets.

Install NEW intake manifold-to-cylinder head gaskets (514).





2. Install the intake manifold.
3. Apply a 5 mm (0.20 inch) band of threadlock GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489), or equivalent, to the threads of the intake manifold bolts. Refer to Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants.

1. Tighten intake manifold bolts (1-10) a first pass in sequence to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.).
2. Tighten intake manifold bolts (1-10) a final pass in sequence to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).





5. Install the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor (714), if previously removed. The electrical connector end of the sensor should be facing the front of the engine.
