Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

Important: In order to install the manifold, complete the following steps:
• Use a suitable solvent in order to clean all oil from the cylinder
block, the cylinder heads, and the intake manifold sealing surface. • Apply a GM approved sealer to the ends of the intake manifold
seals. • Clean any adhesive compound from the intake manifold bolts and
the bolt holes. • Apply a GM approved thread locking compound to the intake manifold
bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the intake manifold bolts in sequence to 15 N·m
(11 lb ft).
Caution: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in the Preface section.
Important: Engine Code K has two bolts which are hidden beneath the upper intake. These bolts are located in the right front and left rear corners of the lower intake manifold. It is necessary to remove the upper intake manifold to service the lower intake.
Important: In order to complete the installation, observe the following assembly tips:
• | Clean the cylinder block, heads and the intake manifold sealing surface of all oil with a suitable solvent. |
• | Clean the intake manifold bolts and bolt holes of adhesive compound. |
• | Apply GM approved thread locking compound to the intake manifold bolt threads before assembly. |
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
