  2. Clean the cylinder head cover sealing 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.

Prolonged exposure to the air prior to assembly may result in engine fluid leakage.
