• Q: How to Install an Exhaust Manifold on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Before installing the exhaust manifold, mount a new gasket on the manifold without adding any sealer. Put the exhaust manifold in place and screw in all the fasteners to 23 Nm (200 in. lbs.); make sure to tighten them in the required order and lift or lower the vehicle as necessary to reach them all and then repeat the tightening until they meet the specified torque. Then, put in the exhaust manifold heat shields and tighten their bolts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.), afterwards place the exhaust manifold support bracket and end by adding the engine wiring heat shield. Once you have connected the oxygen sensor electrical connection, secure the exhaust pipe to the manifold with a fresh gasket and fasten it with 28 Nm (250 in. lbs. ) of torque. Set the coolant recovery container, tighten the power steering fluid reservoir fasteners to the cylinder head and join the MAP sensor electrical connector. Afterward, elink the throttle and speed control cables to the throttle lever and bracket, secure the negative cable back on the battery and install the clean air hose and air cleaner housing.
