14.
disconnect the main positive power cable
(large red cable) from the stud on the starter
motor. re-route the main power cable to the starter
motor by feeding the cable between the side engine
mount and the oil pan. cut the plastic cable ties on the
forward part of the cable bundle as required to provide
slack as needed for the new cable routing. reconnect
the cable to the starter motor.
NOTE: Not all installations will require this. If the battery
cable does not cross over from the frame to the starter
adjacent to the exhaust manifold area, this step may
be omitted. See step 19.
15.
remove fabric heat shield material from frame
that is adjacent to the left side of the engine, if
equipped. (many motorhome chassis do not have this
shield.) unbolt the left front spring bump stop bracket
(located directly above the front axle) from the bottom
of the frame rail. reinstall the bump stop bracket while
bolting the brake line heat shield supplied in the
powerpack kit under the nuts securing the bracket to
the frame rail (see figure 1 ). install a 1 ⁄
4
–28 x 1” hex
bolt, two sae washers and a 1 ⁄
4
–28 locknut through the
heat shield and into a corresponding hole on the
engine mount bracket.
16.
inspect the cylinder head exhaust flange
surfaces. remove any loose carbon, rust, old
gasket material, etc. as required to provide a clean,
flat manifold mounting surface.
NOTE: The Banks PowerPack exhaust manifolds, called
TorqueTubes®, feature a heavy-duty machined flange
that is designed to bolt directly against the cylinder
head without the necessity of gaskets, which are prone
to deteriorate and blow out in time. In some instances
the factory cylinder head flange surfaces may have
become excessively eroded form leaking factory
exhaust manifolds such that Banks TorqueTubes will
not seal to the head. In these instances gaskets will
have to be installed between the head and manifold to
provide a seal.
17.
put the transmission in low gear (make sure
wheels are blocked to prevent rolling). bolt
banks torquetube manifolds to the cylinder heads
while noting the following items.
NOTE: It may also be necessary to turn front wheels all
the way to the left to provide installation clearance.
A. four different bolt lengths are utilized. refer to
Figure 2 for bolt locations.
