Can someone send me the FSM? It looks straightforward enough but Hunter had mentioned in a previous post about the importance of not skipping step 8 which I am now curious about - thanks!

Install new manifold? Ask him what 8 is.

Yes, Roy is correct, step 8 is very inportant.

8 appears to be new gasket and copper nuts! Already had that covered!

Actually step 8 is making sure you remove the manifold nuts.

FSM section 14-450

1. Remove air cleaner.

2. Unscrew fastening nuts on exhaust flange. ( 3 12mm nuts that connects the down pipe)

3.. Unscrew engine oil feed line on turbocharger and fastening clamp.

4. Unscrew pressure line to switchover valve on intake manifold.

5. Unscrew fastening bracket for oil pipe of automatic transmission. ( trans dip stick tube)

6. Loosen engine oil line on oil filter and fastening clamp for engine oil line on cylinder head. (right rear corner rear of head) on model 126, remove center part of partition for better access.

7. Unscrew supporting bracket for exhaust manifold on engine carrier. ( short bracket between the ex manifold and one of the 17mm nuts on the aluminum eng mounting arm under the manifold)


8. Unscrew fastening nuts for intake manifold and
exhaust manifold, remove intake manifold and exhaust
manifold together with exhaust gas turbocharger.

9. Clean intake manifold and exhaust manifold. check flange surfaces with straight edge and refinish on surface plate, if required.

10, When replacing intake manifold or exhaust manifold, unscrew all unscrewable parts and mount on new parts.

11. For installation process vice versa using new gasket and new exhaust nuts.

The air cleaner mount has the 2 13mm nuts on top that screw into the intake manifold, and the one way undernieth that is a PITA to get to.

As always, thanks Charlie! Nice to have a procedure to keep me focused!
