STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FORM-IN-PLACE
GASKETS AND SEALERS
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
obtaining the desired results.Do not use form-in-
place gasket material unless specified.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 essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket
materials that are used in the engine area. Mopart
Engine RTV GEN II, MopartATF-RTV, and Mopart
Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different
properties and can not be used in place of the other.
MOPARtENGINE RTV GEN II
MopartEngine RTV GEN II is used to seal com-
ponents exposed to engine oil. This material is a spe-
cially designed black silicone rubber RTV that
retains adhesion and sealing properties when
exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the
material to cure. This material is available in three
ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one
year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPARtATF RTV
MopartATF RTV is a specifically designed black
silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and seal-
ing properties to seal components exposed to auto-
matic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and
moisture. This material is available in three ounce
tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year
this material will not properly cure. Always inspect
the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPARtGASKET MAKER
MopartGasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket
material. The material cures in the absence of air
when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will
not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic
material is for use between two machined surfaces.
Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARtGASKET SEALANT
MopartGasket Sealant is a slow drying, perma-
nently soft sealer. This material is recommended for
sealing threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage
of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and
machined parts under all temperatures. This mate-
rial is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS)
cylinder head gaskets. This material also will pre-
vent corrosion. MopartGasket Sealant is available in
a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can w/applicator.
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER
APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket
requires care but it's easier then using precut gas-
kets.
MopartGasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant
to one gasket surface. Be certain the material sur-
rounds each mounting hole. Excess material can eas-
ily 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 material off the location.
MopartEngine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket
material should be applied in a continuous bead
approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All
mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a
3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the
center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant
may be removed with a shop towel. Components
should be torqued in place while the sealant is still
wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing material off the location.
MopartGasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be
applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely
over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a
gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a
can w/applicator can be brushed on evenly over the
sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be
used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REPAIR DAMAGED
OR WORN THREADS
CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain
the original center line.
Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essen-
tially, this repair consists of:
²Drilling out worn or damaged threads.
²Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or
equivalent.
²Installing an insert into the tapped hole to bring
the hole back to its original thread size.

ENGINE DATA PLATE
DESCRIPTION
The engine data plate contains specific information
that is helpful to servicing and obtaining parts for
the engine. The data plate is located on the left side
of the engine, affixed to the gear housing. Informa-
tion that can be found on the data plate includes:
²Date of Engine Manufacture
²Engine Serial Number
²Control Parts List (CPL)
²Engine Rated Horsepower
²Engine Firing Order
²Engine Displacement
²Valve Lash Reset Specifications
If the engine data plate is missing or not legible,
the engine serial number is used for engine identifi-
cation. The engine serial number is stamped on the
right side of the block, on top of the oil cooler cavity
(Fig. 10) .
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
REMOVAL
Testing Air Cleaner Element using Filter Minder
Do not attempt to unnecessarily remove the
top of the air cleaner housing for air cleaner
element inspection on diesel engines.
The air cleaner (filter) housing is equipped with an
air Filter MinderŸ gauge (Fig. 11). This air flowrestriction gauge will determine when the air cleaner
element is restricted and should be replaced.
The Filter MinderŸ consists of a diaphragm and
calibrated spring sealed inside of a plastic housing
(Fig. 12). A yellow colored disc attached to the dia-
phragm moves along a graduated scale on the side of
the Filter Minder. After the engine has been shut off,
a ratcheting device located within the Filter Minder
will hold the yellow disc at the highest restriction
that the air cleaner element has experienced. A drop
in air pressure due to an air cleaner element restric-
tion moves the diaphragm and the yellow disc will
indicate the size of the air drop.

CLEANING
CLEANINGÐCYLINDER HEAD
CAUTION: Do not wire brush head surface while
fuel injectors are still installed. Fuel injector dam-
age can result.
Clean the carbon from the injector nozzle seat with
a nylon or brass brush.
Scrape the gasket residue from all gasket surfaces.
Wash the cylinder head in hot soapy water solution
(88ÉC or 140ÉF).
After rinsing, use compressed air to dry the cylin-
der head.
Polish the gasket surface with 400 grit paper. Use
an orbital sander or sanding block to maintain a flat
surface.
CLEANINGÐCROSSHEADS
Clean all crossheads in a suitable solvent. If neces-
sary, use a wire brush or wheel to remove stubborn
deposits. Rinse in hot water and blow dry with com-
pressed air.
CLEANINGÐPUSHRODS
Clean the pushrods in a suitable solvent. Rinse in
hot water and blow dry with compressed air. If nec-
essary, use a wire brush or wheel to remove stubborn
deposits.
INSPECTION
INSPECTIONÐCYLINDER HEAD
Inspect the cylinder head for cracks in the combus-
tion surface. Pressure test any cylinder head that is
visibly cracked. A cylinder head that is cracked
between the injector bore and valve seat can be pres-
sure tested and reused if OK; however, if the crack
extendsintothe valve seat, the valve seatmustbe
replaced.
Visually inspect the cylinder block and head com-
bustion surfaces for localized dips or imperfections.
Check the cylinder head and block combustion sur-
faces for overall out-of-flatness. If either the visual or
manual inspection exceeds the limits, then the head
or block must be surfaced.
Check the top surface for damage caused by the
cylinder head gasket leaking between cylinders.
Inspect the block and head surface for nicks, ero-
sion, etc.
Check the head distortion (Fig. 25). The distortion
of the combustion deck face is not to exceed 0.010
mm (0.0004 inch) in any 50.8 mm (2.00 inch) diame-

ter. Overall variation end to end or side to side 0.30
mm (0.012 inch).
DO NOT proceed with the in-chassis overhaul if
the cylinder head or block surface is damaged or not
flat (within specifications).
Visually inspect the cylinder head bolts for dam-
aged threads, corroded/pitted surfaces, or a reduced
diameter due to bolt stretching.
If the bolts are not damaged, their ªfree lengthº
should be measured using the cap screw stretch
gauge provided with the replacement head gasket.
Place the head of the bolt against the base of the slot
and align the bolt with the straight edge of gauge
(Fig. 26). If the end of the bolt touches the foot of the
gauge, the boltmustbe discarded.The maximum
bolt free length is 132.1 mm (5.200 in.).
INSPECTIONÐCROSSHEADS
Inspect the crossheads for cracks and/or excessive
wear on rocker lever and valve tip mating surfaces
(Fig. 27). Replace any crossheads that exhibit abnor-
mal wear or cracks.
INSPECTIONÐPUSHRODS
Inspect the push rod ball and socket for signs of
scoring. Check for cracks where the ball and the
socket are pressed into the tube (Fig. 28).
Roll the push rod on a flat work surface with the
socket end hanging off the edge (Fig. 29). Replace
any push rod that appears to be bent.Fig. 25 Cylinder Head Combustion Deck Face
