FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS
There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure ob-
taining the desired results. Bead size, continuity, and
location are of great importance. Too thin a bead can
result in leakage while too much can result in spill-
over which can break off and obstruct fluid feed
lines. A continuous bead of the proper width is essen-
tial to obtain a leak-free joint. Two types of form-in-place gasket materials are
used in the engine area. Mopar Silicone Rubber Ad-
hesive Sealant and anaerobic gasket materials, each
have different properties and cannot be used inter-
changeably.
MOPAR SILICONE RUBBER ADHESIVE SEALANT
Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant or equiv-
alent, normally black in color, is available in three
ounce tubes. Moisture in the air causes the Mopar
Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant material to cure.
This material is normally used on flexible metal
flanges. It has a shelf life of one year and will not
properly cure if over age. Always inspect the package
for the expiration date before use.
MOPAR GASKET MAKER
MOPAR Gasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket
material normally red in color. The material cures in
the absence of air when squeezed between two metal-
lic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. It is normally red in color. The anaerobic ma-
terial is for use between two machined surfaces. Do
not used on flexible metal flanges.
GASKET DISASSEMBLY
Parts assembled with form-in-place gaskets may be
disassembled without unusual effort. In some in-
stances, it may be necessary to lightly tap the part
with a mallet or other suitable tool to break the seal
between the mating surfaces. A flat gasket scraper
may also be lightly tapped into the joint but care
must be taken not to damage the mating surfaces.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Scrape clean or wire brush all gasket surfaces re-
moving all loose material. Inspect stamped parts to
assure gasket rails are flat. Flatten rails with a ham-
mer on a flat plate if required. Gasket surfaces must
be free of oil and dirt. Make sure old gasket material
is removed from blind attaching holes.
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket re-
quires care but it's easier then using precut gaskets. MOPAR Gasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1mm(0.040 inch.) diameter or less of seal-
ant to one gasket surface. Be certain the material
surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can
easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in
place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel
is recommended during assembly to prevent smear-
ing the material off location.

(2) Turn camshaft until arrows on hub are inline
with No. 1 camshaft cap to cylinder headline. Small
hole (arrow Fig. 12) must be in vertical center line. (3) Install timing belt.
(4) Rotate crankshaft two full revolutions and re-
check timing.
CAUTION: Do not allow oil or solvents to contact
the timing belt as they can deteriorate the rubber
and cause tooth skipping.
(5) Rotate crankshaft till number 1 cylinder is at
the TDC position. (6) Put belt tension Special Tool C-4703 horizon-
tally on large hex of timing belt tensioner pulley and
loosen tensioner lock nut. (7) Reset belt tension Special Tool C-4703 index if
necessary to have axis within 15É of horizontal. (Fig.
13) (8) Turn engine clockwise from TDC two crank revo-
lutions to TDC. Do not reverse rotate crankshaft
or attempt to rotate engine using cam or acces-
sory shaft attaching screw. (9) Hold weighted wrench in position while tighten-
ing bolt on tensioner to 61 N Im (45 ft. lbs.) torque.
(10) Lower engine onto engine mount install mount-
