Introduction
The BD performance exhaust manifold utilizes all 11 exhaust studs instead of
only 8 the OEM manifold uses. This helps to prevent the exhaust gasket
failure.
The manifold is port matched to the cylinder head to maintain flow efficiency.
New longer exhaust studs and spacers are included to further improve thermal
durability and longevity.
Removal
This removal procedure advises you remove the engine starter instead of removing the AC condenser.
Installation
23. If you do not have a vacuum cooling system filler follow the next steps:
– Fill the radiator through the degas bottle until the coolant level is
between the coolant fill level marks. Close the cap.
– Select the maximum heater temperature and blower motor speed settings.
Position the control to discharge air at A/C vents in instrument panel.
– Start the engine and allow to idle. While engine is idling, feel for hot air
at A/C vents.
– The engine should reach operating temperature. If the air discharge remains
cool and the ECT gauge does not move, the engine coolant level is low and must
be filled. STOP THE ENGINE. Allow the engine to cool and fill the cooling
system.
– Repeat the previous steps as necessary to ensure the coolant system is full.
– Allow the engine to reach operating temperature, hot air should discharge
from the A/C vents and the upper radiator hose should feel hot to the touch.
– Shut the engine off and allow the engine to cool.
24. Check for any leaks from the exhaust system, coolant system or turbocharger oil lines.
