REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(2) Drain the cooling system. Refer to COOLING
SYSTEM.
(3) Remove the A/C compressor. Refer to HEAT-
ING and AIR CONDITIONING.
(4) Remove the generator. Refer to CHARGING
SYSTEM.
(5) Remove the accessory drive bracket.
(6) Remove the air cleaner assembly and air inlet
hose.
(7) Perform the fuel pressure release procedure.
Refer to FUEL SYSTEM.
(8) Disconnect the fuel supply line from the fuel
rail. Refer to FUEL SYSTEM.
(9) Disconnect the accelerator linkage and, if so
equipped, the speed control and transmission kick-
down cables.
(10) Remove the distributor cap and wires.
(11) Disconnect the coil wires.
(12) Disconnect the coolant temperature sending
unit wire.
(13) Disconnect the heater hoses and bypass hose.
(14) Remove the closed crankcase ventilation and
evaporation control systems.
(15) Remove intake manifold bolts.
(16) Lift the intake manifold and throttle body out
of the engine compartment as an assembly.
(17) Remove and discard the flange side gaskets
and the front and rear cross-over gaskets.
(18) Remove the throttle body bolts and lift the
throttle body off the intake manifold (Fig. 40). Dis-
card the throttle body gasket.
INSTALLATION
(1) If the plenum pan was removed, position pan
gasket and pan.
(2) Install plenum pan retaining bolts. (Fig. 41).
(3) Tighten plenum pan mounting bolts as follows:
²Step 1. Tighten bolts to 5.4 N´m (24 in. lbs.)
²Step 2. Tighten bolts to 9.5 N´m (84 in. lbs.)
²Step 3. Check all bolts are at 9.5 N´m (84 in.
lbs.)
(4) Using a new gasket, install the throttle body
onto the intake manifold. Tighten the bolts to 23 N´m
(200 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Apply a bead of Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhe-
sive Sealant, or equivalent, to the four corner joints.
The sealant bead height should be slightly higher
than the cross-over gaskets, approximately 5 mm (0.2
in). An excessive amount of sealant is not required to
ensure a leak proof seal, and an excessive amount of
sealant may reduce the effectiveness of the flange
gasket.
(6) Install the front and rear cross-over gaskets
onto the engine (Fig. 42).
(7) Install the flange gaskets. Ensure 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. 43). The words MANIFOLD SIDE should be vis-
ible on the center of each flange gasket.
(8) Carefully lower intake manifold into position
on the cylinder block and cylinder heads. long studs
at the front and rear of the manifold will help to
align the intake manifold. After intake manifold is in

(9) The following torque sequence duplicates the
expected results of the automated assembly system
(Fig. 44).
²Step 1ÐTighten bolts 1 thru 4, in sequence, to 8
N´m (72 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten in alternating steps
1.4 N´m (12 in. lbs.) torque at a time.
²Step 2ÐTighten bolts 5 thru 12, in sequence, to
8 N´m (72 in. lbs.) torque.
²Step 3ÐCheck that all bolts are tightened to 8
N´m (72 in. lbs.) torque.
²Step 4ÐTighten all bolts, in sequence, to 16 N´m
(12 ft. lbs.) torque.
²Step 5ÐCheck that all bolts are tightened to 16
N´m (12 ft. lbs.) torque.
(10) Install closed crankcase ventilation and evap-
oration control systems.
(11) Install the coil wires.
(12) Connect the coolant temperature sending unit
wire.
(13) Connect the heater hoses and bypass hose.
(14) Install distributor cap and wires.

equipped, the speed control and transmission kick-
down cables.
(16) Install the fuel supply line to the fuel rail.
(17) Install the accessory drive bracket and A/C
compressor.(18) Install the generator and accessory drive belt.
Tighten generator mounting bolt to 41 N´m (30 ft.
lbs.) torque.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine (4) Before removing valves, remove any burrs from
valve stem lock grooves to prevent damage to the
valve guides. Identify valves to ensure installation in
original location.
INSTALLATION
(1) Coat valve stems with lubrication oil and insert
them in cylinder head.
(2) If valves or seats are reground, check valve
stem height. If valve is too long, replace cylinder
head.
(3) Install new seals on all valve guides. Install
valve springs and valve retainers.
(4) Compress valve springs with Valve Spring
Compressor Tool MD-998772A, install locks and
release tool. If valves and/or seats are ground, mea-
sure the installed height of springs. Make sure the
measurement is taken from bottom of spring seat in
cylinder head to the bottom surface of spring
retainer. If spacers are installed, measure from the
top of spacer. If height is greater than 42.86 mm
(1-11/16 inches), install a 1.587 mm (1/16 inch)
spacer in head counterbore. This should bring spring
height back to normal 41.27 to 42.86 mm (1-5/8 to
1-11/16 inch).
HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the air cleaner assembly and air inlet
hose.
(2) Remove cylinder head cover, rocker assembly
and push rods. Identify push rods to ensure installa-
tion in original location.
(3) Remove intake manifold, yoke retainer and
aligning yokes.
(4) Slide Hydraulic Tappet Remover/Installer Tool
C-4129-A through opening in cylinder head and seat
tool firmly in the head of tappet.
(5) Pull tappet out of bore with a twisting motion.
If all tappets are to be removed, identify tappets to
ensure installation in original location.
INSTALLATION
(1) If the tappet or bore in cylinder block is scored,
scuffed, or shows signs of sticking, ream the bore to
next oversize. Replace with oversize tappet.
(2) Lubricate tappets.
(3) Install tappets and push rods in their original
positions. Ensure that the oil feed hole in the side of
the tappet body faces up (away from the crankshaft).
(4) Install aligning yokes with ARROW toward
camshaft.
(5) Install yoke retainer. Tighten the bolts to 23
N´m (200 in. lbs.) torque. Install intake manifold.
(6) Install push rods in original positions.(7) Install rocker arm.
(8) Install cylinder head cover.
(9) Install air cleaner assembly and air inlet hose.
(10) Start and operate engine. Warm up to normal
operating temperature.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to valve mechanism,
engine must not be run above fast idle until all
hydraulic tappets have filled with oil and have
become quiet.
VIBRATION DAMPER
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the cooling system fan.
(3) Remove the cooling fan shroud.
(4) Remove the accessory drive belt. Refer to
COOLING SYSTEM.
(5) Remove vibration damper bolt and washer from
end of crankshaft.
(6) Position Special Tool 8513 Insert into the
crankshaft nose.
(7) Install Special Tool 1026 Three Jaw Puller onto
the vibration damper (Fig. 51).
(8) Pull vibration damper off of the crankshaft.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Thoroughly remove any contaminants
from the crankshaft nose and the vibration damper
bore. Failure to do so can cause sever damage to
the crankshaft.
(1) Position the vibration damper onto the crank-
shaft.
