Application Locations
(8) The lower intake manifold MUST be installed
within 3 minutes of sealant application. Carefully
lower intake manifold into position on the cylinder
block and cylinder heads. After intake manifold is in
place, inspect to make sure seals and gaskets are in
place.
(9) Finger start all bolts, alternate one side to the
other.
(10) Tighten the lower intake manifold bolts to 54
N-m (40 ft. lbs.) torque.
(11) Using a new gasket, position the upper intake
manifold onto the lower intake manifold.
(12) Tighten upper intake manifold bolts to 22 N-m
(16 ft. lbs.) torque.
(13) Install the exhaust manifolds and new gas­
kets. Tighten the bolts and stud bolts to 22 N-m (16
ft. lbs.) torque.
(14) Install exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold.
Tighten the bolts to 34 n-m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(15) Using a new gasket, position the EGR tube to
the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold.
Tighten the EGR tube nut to 34 N-m (25 ft. lbs.)
torque. Tighten the bolts to 20 N-m (174 in. lbs.)
torque.
(16) Install the heat shields and the washers.
Make sure that heat shields tabs hook over the
exhaust gasket. Tighten the nuts to 15 N-m (132 in.
lbs.) torque.
(17) Adjust spark plugs to specifications (refer to
Group 8D, Ignition System). Install the plugs and
tighten to 41 N-m (30 ft. lbs.) torque.
(18) Install coil packs and bracket. Tighten the
bracket bolts to 21 N-m (190 in. lbs.) torque. Connect
the coil wires.
(19) Connect heat indicator sending unit wire.
(20) Connect the heater hoses and bypass hose.
(21) Connect the accelerator linkage and if so
equipped, the speed control and transmission kick-
down cables.
(22) Install the fuel line.
(23) Install the generator and drive belt. Tighten
generator mounting bolt to 41 N-m (30 ft. lbs.)
torque. Tighten the adjusting strap bolt to 23 N-m
(200 in. lbs.) torque. Refer to Group 7, Cooling Sys­
tem for adjusting the belt tension.
(24) Install the intake manifold-to-generator
bracket support rod. Tighten the bolts to 41 N-m (30
ft. lbs.) torque.
(25) The cylinder head cover gasket can be used
again. Install the gasket onto the head rail. For the
left side the number tab is at the front of en­
gine with the number up. For the right side the
number tab is at the rear of engine with the
number up.
CAUTION: The cylinder head cover fasteners have a
special plating. DO NOT use alternative fasteners.
(26) Position the cylinder head cover onto the gas­
ket. Install the stud bolts and hex head bolts in the
proper positions (Fig. 1). Tighten the stud bolts and
the bolts to 16 N-m (144 in. lbs.) torque.
(27) Install closed crankcase ventilation system.
(28) Connect the evaporation control system.
(29) Install the air cleaner.
(30) Fill cooling system (refer to Group 7, Cooling
System for proper procedure).
(31) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
(32) Check for leaks (fuel, oil, antifreeze, etc.).
VALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
The valves are arranged in-line and inclined 18°.
The rocker pivot support and the valve guides are
cast integral with the heads.
This procedure requires the removal of the cylinder
head.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the cylinder head.
(2) Special studs must be used to adapt the Valve
Spring Compressor Tool to the V-10 cylinder head
(Fig. 11). Install the metric end into the Special Tool
MD998772A and the 5/16 end into the cylinder head.
(3) Compress valve springs using Valve Spring
Compressor Tool MD-998772A with Adapter 6716A
