RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD





NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened using a torque plus angle procedure. The bolts must be examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked down (2) the bolts should be replaced.
Necking (2) can be checked by holding a straight edge against the threads. If all the threads do not contact the scale (2), the bolt should be replaced.




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 (1).

1. Clean the cylinder head and cylinder block mating surfaces.




2. Position the new cylinder head gasket on the locating dowels.

CAUTION: When installing cylinder head, use care not damage the tensioner arm or the guide arm.

5. Coat the four M8 cylinder head bolts with Mopar(R) Thread Sealant with PTFE then install the bolts.

NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened using an angle torque procedure.

6. Tighten the bolts in sequence using the following steps and torque values:
- Step 1: Tighten bolts 1-10, 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
- Step 2: Tighten bolts 1-10, 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Tighten bolts 11-14, 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
- Step 3: Tighten bolts 1-10, 90 degrees. Tighten bolts 11-14, 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
