Rocker Arms INSTALLATION

(1) Rotate the crankshaft until the "V8" mark
lines up with the TDC mark on the timing chain
case cover. This mark is located 147° ATDC from the
No.l firing position.

CAUTION:
DO NOT
rotate
or crank the engine dur­
ing
or
immediately
after
rocker
arm installation. Al­
low the hydraulic roller tappets adequate
time
to
bleed
down
(about 5 minutes).
(2) Install the push rods in the same order as re­
moved.
(3) Install rocker arm and pivot assemblies in the
same order as removed. Tighten the rocker arm bolts
to 28 N*m (21 ft. lbs.) torque. (4) Install cylinder head cover.
(5) Connect spark plug wires.
CYLINDER HEADS The alloy cast iron cylinder heads (Fig. 3) are held
in place by 10 bolts. The spark plugs are located in
the peak of the wedge between the valves. The 5.9L cylinder head is identified by the foundry
mark CF.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Drain cooling system (refer to Group 7, Cooling
System for the proper procedures).
(3) Remove the heat shields (Fig. 4).

INSPECTION

Inspect all surfaces with a straightedge if there is
any reason to suspect leakage. If out-of-flatness ex­
ceeds 0.00075 mm/mm (0.00075 inch/inch) times the span length in inches in any direction, either replace
head or lightly machine the head surface.
FOR EXAMPLE: A 305 mm (12 inch) span is
0.102 mm (0.004 inch) out-of-flat. The allowable out-
of-flat is 305 x 0.00075 (12 x 0.00075) equals 0.23
mm (0.009 inch). This amount of out-of-flat is accept­
able.

The cylinder head surface finish should be 1.78-
4.57 microns (70-180 microinches). Inspect push rods. Replace worn or bent rods.

INSTALLATION
(1) Apply Perfect Sealant No.5, or equivalent, to
both sides of the gasket (Fig. 5).

Fig.
5 Sealant Location on Cylinder Head
Gasket

(2) Position the new cylinder head gaskets onto the
cylinder block.
(3) Position the cylinder heads onto head gaskets
and cylinder block. (4) Starting at top center, tighten all cylinder head

bolts,
in sequence, to 68 N-m (50 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig.
6).
Repeat procedure, tighten all cylinder head bolts
to 143 N-m (105 ft. lbs.) torque. Repeat procedure to confirm that all bolts are at 143 N-m (105 ft. lbs.)
torque.

CAUTION:
When
tightening the rocker arm
bolts,
make
sure
the
piston
in
that
cylinder is NOT at

TDC.
Contact
between the
valves
and
piston
could
occur.

(5) Install push rods and rocker arm assemblies in
their original position. Tighten the bolts to 28 N-m (21 ft. lbs.) torque. (6) Place the 4 plastic locator dowels into the holes
in the block Fig. 7).

6 Cylinder Head

Sequence

(7) Apply Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Seal­
ant, or equivalent, to the four corner joints. An ex­
cessive amount of sealant is not required to ensure a
leak proof seal. However, an excessive amount of sealant may reduce the effectiveness of the flange
gasket. The sealant should be slightly highe^ than
the cross-over gaskets, approx. 5 mm (0.2 in).
(8) Install the front and rear cross-over gaskets
onto the dowels (Fig. 7).

(9) Install the flange gaskets. Be sure that the ver­
tical port alignment tab is resting on the deck face of
the block. Also the horizontal alignment tabs must
be in position with the mating cylinder head gasket tabs (Fig. 8). The words MANIFOLD SIDE should be
visible on the center of each flange gasket.
(10) Carefully lower intake manifold into position
on the cylinder block and cylinder heads. Use the
