Special Tools:











CAUTION: The magnetic timing wheels (1) 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.






1. Install the cylinder head cover gasket (1).
2. The spark plug tube seals (2) can be reused if not damaged.





3. 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).
- Push the seal into the cylinder head cover until the base of the seal is seated.
- Remove the tool.





4. Clean the timing 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(R) Threebond Engine RTV Sealant may result in engine fluid leakage.

CAUTION: Following the application of Mopar(R) Threebond Engine RTV Sealant to the gasket surfaces, the components must be assembled within 20 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.

5. Apply a 2 to 3 mm wide bead of Mopar(R) Threebond Engine RTV Sealant (1) to the two engine timing cover to cylinder head T-joints as shown.





6. Align the locator pins (1) to the cylinder head and install the cylinder head cover.
7. Tighten the cylinder head cover bolts and double ended studs in the sequence shown to 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.).





8. If removed, install the spark plugs Spark Plug - Installation
9. Install the ignition coils Ignition Coil - Installation





10. Engage two injection/ignition harness retainers (1) to the left cylinder head cover.






NOTE: The RH CMP sensor is shown, the LH CMP sensor is similar. If both RH and LH CMP sensors where removed, install them into their original locations.

11. Install the camshaft position sensor Camshaft Position Sensor - Installation





12. Connect the electrical connector (5) to the left Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.
13. Engage one main wire harness retainer (2) to the cylinder head cover and one main wire harness retainer (4) to the cylinder head cover mounting stud.





14. Refer to the markings made at disassembly and install the variable valve timing solenoids (2 and 4) in their original locations Variable Valve Timing Solenoid - Installation





15. Engage three wire harness retainers (1) to the left cylinder head cover.
16. Connect the electrical connectors (2) to the left variable valve timing solenoids.





17. Install the insulator (2) to the two alignment posts (3) on top of the LH cylinder head cover.





18. Install the upper intake manifold (1), support brackets, resonator and air cleaner body Intake Manifold - Installation
19. Connect the negative battery cable and tighten nut to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.).

NOTE: 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.
