2000 Chevrolet Malibu Exhaust Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right exhaust manifold on 2000 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: The replacement process for the right Exhaust Manifold begins by taking away the air cleaner assembly followed by oxygen sensors before you disconnect the crossover pipe from the manifold. You must begin by removing both fasteners and the heat shield from the Exhaust Manifold before proceeding with exhausting each of the manifold nuts. Finish by separating the manifold from its gaskets. Surface cleaning must occur at both the cylinder head and the Exhaust Manifold before adding the Exhaust Manifold Gasket and the Exhaust Manifold. Screw the Exhaust Manifold nuts to a torque of 16 nm (12 ft. Lbs.) after which you should attach the Exhaust Manifold heat shield using nuts at 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). Reinstall the exhaust crossover pipe to the manifold before installing both the crossover pipe heat shield and restoring the assembly of the top air cleaner half and throttle duct. The process must end with Battery Cable attachment.
