1. Using metal surface cleaner, clean all the sealing surfaces.
   
   NOTE

   If the lower intake manifold is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
2. Apply a 0.20-0.23 inch (5-6 mm) bead of silicone gasket and sealant at the four cylinder block-to-cylinder head seams.
3. Install the lower intake manifold gaskets and end seals.
4. Install the intake manifold. Tighten the bolts in two steps in the sequence shown:
   1. Step 1: Tighten to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft).
   2. Step 2: Tighten to 24 ft. lbs. (32 Nm.
5. Connect the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing.
6. Connect the ECT sensor electrical connector and the degas bottle hose.
