Installation Note:
After
removal of the old plenums, make sure the surface of the head and new
plenum is absolutely clean of any dirt, debris, previous RTV sealant or
the new plenums may not seal properly. Apply a small bead of sealant
around the outside flange following the groove and go around each bolt
hole. Do not apply too much sealant to avoid large globs getting into
the intake runners of the cylinder head after the sealant has cured.
Follow the instructions on the back of the tube of sealant. After you
have placed the sealant on a plenum, install it on the head slowing by
watching the bolt holes to line them up as best you can. Install each
bolt finger tight. If you are using the original mount for the glow plug
relay (GPR) there are nuts included to better match the bolts in the
kit.
After each bolt has been installed finger tight, start in
the center of the plenum and work towards the ends tightening the bolts
with a wrench. A 3/8" ratchet with a 13mm shallow socket and 4"
extension works great for all bolts except the one on the passenger side
at the front of the engine (you'll need at 13mm combination wrench)
that cannot be removed unless you either pull the front cover or have
the head off the engine. Note - You will Not be able to install one of
the provided bolts in this location unless the front cover is off or you
have the head off, the factory bolt can be reused without issue. This
one bolt must be installed prior to engine assembly. Bolts are to be
torqued to 20ft/lbs.
