    CAUTION:

    When cleaning cylinder head and cylinder block surfaces, DO NOT use a metal scraper because the surfaces could be cut or ground. Use ONLY a wooden or plastic scraper.

  5. Clean and prepare the gasket sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and block. Refer to Engine - Standard Procedure .
    CAUTION:

    Non-compressible debris such as oil, coolant or RTV sealants that are not removed from bolt holes can cause the aluminum casting to crack when tightening the bolts.

  6. Clean out the cylinder head bolt holes in the engine block.
    WARNING:

    The multi-layered steel head gaskets have very sharp edges that could cause personal injury if not handled carefully.

    CAUTION:

    The cylinder head gaskets are not interchangeable between the left and right cylinder heads and are clearly marked (3) with "R" for right and "L" for left.

  7. Position the new cylinder head gasket (1) onto the locating dowels (2).

    GC0144138Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
    CAUTION:

    Do not rotate the camshafts more than a few degrees independently of the crankshaft. Valve to piston contact could occur resulting in possible valve damage. If the camshafts need to be rotated more than a few degrees, first move the pistons away from the cylinder heads by rotating the crankshaft counterclockwise to a position 30° before-top-dead-center. Once the camshafts are returned to their top-dead-center position, rotate the crankshaft clockwise to return the crankshaft to top-dead-center.

    NOTE:

    If the hydraulic lifters are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

  11. If removed, install the hydraulic lifters. Refer to LIFTER(S), HYDRAULIC, INSTALLATION .
    NOTE:

    If the rocker arms are being reused, reassemble them into their original locations.

  12. Install the rocker arms and camshafts. Refer to CAMSHAFT, ENGINE, INSTALLATION .
  13. Rotate the camshafts clockwise to TDC by positioning the alignment holes (1) vertically.
