Cover(S), Cylinder Head: Installation
- If required, install a new oil filler neck O-ring (1).
- If required, install the oil filler neck (1) to the cylinder head cover. Secure the oil filler neck (1) with the oil filler neck lock (2) and bolt (3) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).CAUTION:
When servicing components near the vacuum pump, avoid contact with the plastic nipple that connects the vacuum pump to the brake booster hose. It is possible to crack the plastic nipple resulting in a brake booster vacuum leak.
- Install the cylinder head cover gasket (1).
- The spark plug tube seals (2) can be reused if not damaged.
- Clean the variable valve actuator assembly, camshaft caps, camshaft housing 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® Engine Sealant RTV Silicone Rubber Adhesive may result in engine fluid leakage.
CAUTION:Following the application of Mopar® Engine Sealant RTV Silicone Rubber Adhesive to the gasket surfaces, the components must be assembled within 10 minutes and the attaching fasteners must be tightened to specification within the next 10 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® Engine RTV GEN II sealant (1) to the cylinder head cover T-joints as shown.
- Install the cylinder head cover with twelve bolts. Tighten the twelve bolts in two steps following the sequence shown in illustration:
- Step 1: All to 5 N.m (44 in. lbs.).
- Step 2: All to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Install the upper timing belt cover (1) with two bolts (2 and 3) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Engage the following retainers from the upper timing belt cover (1) :
- Wastegate solenoid pressure inlet hose (2).
- Afterrun coolant pump return hose (3).
- EVAP purge hose (4).
- Reposition a install the turbocharger wastegate solenoid (4). Tighten bolt (5) to 8 N.m (71 in. lbs.).
- Install the wiring harness duct (1) to the cylinder head cover with two bolts (3) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Install the ground lug (2) to the cylinder head cover and tighten the bolt (2) to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).NOTE:
Number 1 cylinder ignition coil shown, all others similar.
