2001 Frontier 2.4L Catalytic Converter Install Help
Hey guys
I'm replacing the exhaust manifold and have run into a lack of information. Referencing the manual and its section on installing the manifold it only lists the torque specs for the manifold to head nuts. Turning to the catalytic converter section it says to take the vehicle to a mechanic, so I need the torque specs for the Cat. to the manifold nuts. My second issue is the crush seal that goes between the manifold and the Cat. Upon disassembly I found there was no crush seal so I don't know which side of the seal goes up or down..or even if this application requires a crush seal.. (Attached is a picture of this seal) Can anyone help? |

mpe235 thanks for the reply
I just talked to the manufacturer's rep who produced my Cat. (EMI - Eastern Catalytic) who said to only use the wire mesh ring and torque the bolts to 27-32 ft lbs. Their site shows only the mesh ring that comes with their Cat., but the Dorman exhaust manifold I bought came with the steel outer ring and the mesh ring.. It would seem that using the outer ring would provide a better seal and hold the mesh ring in place when assembling. I think the rep may have been referring to his catalogue picture rather than hands on experience, but now I'm a little torn between your advice and his..although it would make better sense to use the metal ring.. |
