2. MISCELLANEOUS PREPARATION

Fig. 2A: Wiring Harness

Free the large wiring harness from the two (2)

mounting locations on the engine front cover for-

ward of the passenger side cylinder head. Use

extra care when disengaging the lower clip from

the threaded hole in the engine cover as this

threaded hole will be used in a later step. If part

of the clip breaks off in the threaded hole, careful-

ly extract it without damaging the threads. Route

the harness higher up along the passenger side

valve cover. (See Fig. 2A)

Carefully cut the OEM plastic hose clamp on the

hose running between the “Y” on the thermostat

housing and the engine water neck.

Take extra

care not to damage the hose. (See Fig. 2B)

Re-clamp the hose in the previous step with the

included #28 worm gear clamp. Orient the clamp

so the screw mechanism is toward the driver side,

away from the throttle body mounting location.

(See Fig. 2C)

Free the large electrical connector near the radia-

tor inlet from its mounting location. Leaving it

connected, relocate it forward of the power distri-

bution box/ECU and secure with zip ties. (See

Fig. 2D)

Remove the coil covers from the cylinder heads.

Remove the ignition coils and spark plugs. Re-gap

the spark plugs to .032", re-install and torque to 9

ft-lbs. Reinstall the coils and coil covers.
