Right Cylinder Head Cover
The magnetic timing wheels must not come in contact with magnets (pickup tools, trays, etc.) or any other strong magnetic field. This will destroy the timing wheels ability to correctly relay camshaft position to the camshaft position sensor.
The LH cylinder head cover is shown, the RH cylinder head cover is similar.
- Install the NEW cylinder head cover gasket (1).
- The spark plug tube seals (2) can be reused if not damaged.
- If required, install new spark plug tube seals (2) in the cylinder head cover:
- Lubricate the spark plug tube seal inner and outer diameters with clean engine oil.
- Place the spark plug tube seal (2) on the Cam Sensor/Spark Plug Tube Seal Installer (1).
(Special tool #10256, Installer, Cam Installer, Cam Sensor/ Spark Plug Tube Seal)
- Push the seal into the cylinder head cover until the base of the seal is seated.
- Remove the tool.
NOTE:The LH cylinder head cover T-joint is shown, the RH cylinder head cover T-joint is similar.
- Clean the engine timing cover, cylinder head and cylinder head cover mating surfaces with isopropyl alcohol in preparation for sealant application.CAUTION:
Engine assembly requires the use of a unique sealant that is compatible with engine oil. Using a sealant other than Mopar® Threebond Engine RTV Sealant may result in engine fluid leakage.
CAUTION:Following the application of Mopar® Threebond Engine RTV Sealant to the gasket surfaces, the components must be assembled within 10 minutes and the attaching fasteners must be tightened to specification within 45 minutes. Prolonged exposure to the air prior to assembly may result in engine fluid leakage.
- Apply a 2 to 3 mm wide bead of Mopar® Threebond Engine RTV Sealant (1) to the two engine timing cover to cylinder head T-joints as shown.
- Align the locator pins (1) to the cylinder head and install the cylinder head cover.
- Tighten the cylinder head cover bolts and double ended studs in the sequence shown to 12 N. m (106 in. lbs.).
- Install the right hand engine mount insulator. Refer to INSULATOR, ENGINE MOUNT, REAR, INSTALLATION .
- Install the PCV valve. Refer to VALVE, POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV), INSTALLATION .
- Install the wiring harness retainers to the right cylinder head cover.
- Install the washers and fasteners (2) securing the rear coolant tube (1) to the right cylinder head cover.
- Install the right hand bank 2 solenoid 1 and solenoid 2 variable valve lift solenoids. Refer to SOLENOID, VARIABLE VALVE LIFT, INSTALLATION .
- Install the right hand variable valve timing solenoids. Refer to SOLENOID, VARIABLE VALVE TIMING, INSTALLATION .
- Install the right hand ignition coils. Refer to COIL, IGNITION, INSTALLATION .
- Install the camshaft position sensor. Refer to SENSOR, CAMSHAFT POSITION, INSTALLATION .
The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components.
