Removal & Installation: Starter: Installation
Before installation, ensure pinion-to-flywheel clearance is .020" (0.5 mm). See Fig 1 . Add or subtract shims as necessary. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten mounting bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (43 N.m).
Before installing starter onto engine, tighten inner solenoid terminal nuts to ensure they are secure in cap. Starter failure may occur due to terminal or cap damage. Ensure pinion-to-flywheel clearance is .020" (0.5 mm). See Figure . Add or subtract shims as necessary. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten mounting bolts to 35 Ft. lbs. (47 N.m).
- Tightened all inner solenoid terminal nuts to 71 INCH lbs. (8 N.m) to ensure they are secure in cap. Starter failure may occur due to terminal or cap damage. Install starter and wiring. Tighten starter mounting bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 N.m). Refer to illustrations. See Figure -Figure .
- Install intake manifold with throttle body attached. Tighten 4 manifold bolts in a crisscross pattern starting with bolt closest to throttle body and to rear of vehicle. Tighten bolts in crisscross sequence to 71 INCH lbs. (8 N.m) and then an additional 120 degrees (1/3 of a turn). To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
