3. Carefully install camshafts onto cylinder head journals and align the camshaft gear timing marks.
4. Install the camshaft retainers and tighten each retaining bolt to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).




5. After camshafts are properly installed in cylinder head cover check end play of camshafts with a dial indicator.

NOTE: The left exhaust camshaft gear alignment mark is located in the gear tooth valley. The left intake camshaft gear mark is located on the outside of the tooth.





NOTE: The alignment marks should be touching and the exhaust camshaft drive gear alignment pin should be located at approximately 12 o'clock, when viewed from the front camshaft seal.

6. Assure the proper positioning of the camshaft gear alignment marks and install the camshaft driven gear onto the exhaust camshaft alignment dowel.
7. Install two of the drive gear bolts. Tighten the bolts to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).
8. Assure proper positioning of the timing chain to drive gear paint or scribe marks and remove the tie strap.
9. Rotate the engine by the vibration damper bolt enough to install the third camshaft drive gear bolt. Tighten the bolt to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.).
10. Rotate the engine back to TDC and check camshaft gear alignment.

NOTE: If the camshaft endplay is not within specification, replace the cylinder head and cylinder head cover.




11. Install the timing chain tensioner.




12. Install the left front camshaft oil seal (2).




13. Install the left rear camshaft oil seal (2).




14. Clean and inspect all sealing surfaces.

NOTE: Care must be taken not to get any engine sealant on the camshaft journals of the cylinder head cover.

15. Install a 1/8 in bead of Mopar Engine RTV Gen II sealant to the underside of the cylinder head cover.




16. Carefully position the cylinder head cover and install the bolts into their original position.

CAUTION: The cylinder head cover bolts are different lengths. Do not use the wrong length bolts or engine damage may result.

17. Tighten cylinder head cover bolts in sequence, first to 4 Nm (35 in. lbs.), and then repeat the sequence to 8.4 Nm (75 in. lbs).




18. Install the EGR valve.

CAUTION: The fuel injector sealing washers MUST be replaced. DO NOT use the old sealing washers or double the sealing washers.

NOTE: Care must be taken not to apply any lubricant to the fuel injector nozzles.




19. Install the fuel injectors (1). Tighten the injector retaining claw bolt to 7 Nm (5 ft. lbs.) and then an additional 180�.
20. Re-position and secure the engine harness.
21. Install the left fuel rail. Tighten the fuel rail bolts to 11 Nm (8 in. lbs.).
22. Position the return fuel lines and secure to the injectors. Push down on the release lock tab to secure.
23. Connect the fuel injector electrical connectors.
24. Install the left rear engine cover bracket.




25. Install the high pressure fuel lines from the fuel rail to injectors. Tighten the line connections to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).
26. Install the fuel line from the high pressure pump to the left fuel rail. Tighten the retaining bolt to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
27. Install the fuel supply line to the fuel filter and high pressure pump.
28. Connect both fuel lines at the high pressure pump.
29. Install the air filter housing and tube.
30. Connect the negative battery cable.
31. Start the engine, run until warm, turn engine off and inspect for leaks.




32. Install the engine cover.
33. Connect negative battery cable.
