EXHAUST MANIFOLD (Continued)
INSPECTION
(1) Inspect manifold gasket surfaces for flatness
with straight edge. Surface must be flat within 0.15
mm per 300 mm (0.006 in. per foot) of manifold
length.
(2) Inspect manifolds for cracks or distortion.
Replace manifold as necessary.
INSTALLATION
There are two different exhaust manifolds that are
used on the 2.4L engine. The PZEV manifold has a
check valve attached to it. Each manifold has a dif-
ferent torque sequence that must be followed.
(1) Install new exhaust manifold gasket. D O N OT
AP P LY S EALER.
(2) Position exhaust manifold in place. Tighten fas-
teners in sequence shown in (Fig. 108) for non-PZEV
engines to 23 N·m (200 in. lbs.). For PZEV engines
tighten bolts (Fig. 109) to 23 N·m (200 in. lbs.).
Repeat this procedure until all fasteners are at spec-
ified torque.

(5) Connect connector tube to check valve by push-
ing fitting over check valve.
(6) Connect oxygen sensor electrical connector.
