How to replace the right exhaust manifold (RPO LS4) on 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

Question

Accepted Answer

Begin by removing the engine sight shield then the spark plugs before you remove the exhaust crossover pipe nuts from the right Exhaust Manifold and disconnect the Catalytic Converter from the manifold. The vehicle should rest on mechanics wire after proper support of its Catalytic Converter and exhaust system before final lowering occurs. From the list of components the technician will remove the Ignition Coil and both o2 sensors before proceeding with the Exhaust Manifold heat shield bolts (604) to extract the heat shield assembly (603). Detach the Exhaust Manifold bolts while removing both the manifold and discard the old gasket. Thorough inspection followed by cleaning of the left Exhaust Manifold takes place. Cautiously apply 5 mm (0.2 inch) thread of gm p/n 12345493 threadlock gm (Canadian P/N 10953488 or equivalent material on the Exhaust Manifold bolt threads. Accomplish this process while keeping the cylinder head Exhaust Manifold bolt hole threads clean without debris and avoid placing threadlock on the first three bolt threads. Begin by applying threadlock to the Exhaust Manifold bolts then install a new Exhaust Manifold Gasket and Exhaust Manifold itself before tightening all bolts to 15 Nm (11 ft. Lbs.) using the center two bolts first and continuing from side to side before a final tightening to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) in this same order. A flat punch should be used to fold the Exhaust Manifold Gasket at the rear of right cylinder head before adding heat shield (603) and tightening its bolts (604) to 9 nm (80 inch lbs.). The procedure includes reinstalling the o2 sensor, hoisting the vehicle, cutting the mechanics wire while reconnecting the Catalytic Converter. First install the exhaust crossover pipe nuts onto the right Exhaust Manifold and tighten them to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) followed by installing the Ignition Coil after which you should add the spark plugs before completing with the fuel injector sight shield.
