2001 Chevrolet Cavalier Exhaust Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the exhaust manifold on 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: The Exhaust Manifold replacement process starts with removing the oxygen sensor lead as well as the generator and generator rear brace components. You should elevate the vehicle before moving the Exhaust Pipe away from its position on the Exhaust Manifold. Lower your automobile to remove the oil fill tube first while taking out the Exhaust Manifold nuts. Disassemble both the manifold and its gasket then smooth the mating locations on the cylinder head and Exhaust Manifold. Thoroughly check the manifold for cracking, damaged gasket surfaces, broken flanges, and use a straight edge with a feeler gauge to examine mating surface alignment; a misaligned manifold indicates warping and requires a new replacement. Place the Exhaust Manifold gasket onto the spot where it will fit before adding the Exhaust Manifold. First install Exhaust Manifold nuts while tightening them to 13 nm (115 inch lbs.) and then add the oil fill tube. After installing the Exhaust Pipe to the manifold you should lower the vehicle to proceed with generator rear brace and generator installation and conclude by connecting the oxygen sensor lead.
