Cover(S), Cylinder Head: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cylinder head covers are made of a carbon and fiberglass composite.
- The cylinder head covers are not interchangeable from side-to-side.
- The cylinder head covers are sealed with a press-in-place gasket that is designed to isolate the cover from the cylinder head for improved Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH).
- There are two dowel pins on the outboard side of the cover flange to locate the cover to holes in the cylinder head.
- Room Temperature Vulcanizing silicone (RTV) is used to seal the T-joint at the timing cover, cylinder head and cylinder head cover.
