Idler sprocket assembly spline joint. The joint should be tight with no backlash or axial movement.
Chain guides and tensioner arms. Replace these parts if grooving in plasticfaceismorethan1mm(0.039in.)
deep. If plastic face is severely grooved or melted, the tensioner lube jetmay be clogged. The tensioner
should be replaced.
Secondary chain tensioner piston and ratcheting device. Inspect for evidence of heavy contact between ten-
sioner piston and tensioner arm. If this condition exist the tensioner tensioner arm and chain should be
replaced.
Primary chain tensioner plastic faces. Replace as required.

INSTALLATION
1. Using a vise, lightly compress the secondary chain
tensioner piston (5) until the piston step is flush
with the tensioner body. Using a pin or suitable
tool, release ratchet pawl by pulling pawl back
against spring force through access hole on side of
tensioner. While continuing to hold pawl back, Push
ratchet device to approximately 2 mm from the ten-
sioner body. Install Special Tool 8514 lock pin (3)
into hole on front of tensioner. Slowly open vise (1)
to transfer piston spring force to lock pin.

7. Install both secondary chains onto the idler
sprocket. Align two plated links on the secondary
chains to be visible through the two lower openings
on the idler sprocket (4 o’clock and 8 o’clock).
Once the secondary timing chains are installed,
position special tool 8429 (1) to hold chains in
place for installation.
8. Align primary chain double platedlinks with the timing mark at 12 o’clock on the idler sprocket. Align the primary
chain single plated link with the timing mark at 6 o’clock on the crankshaftsprocket.
9. Lubricate idler shaft and bushings with clean engine oil.

NOTE: The idler sprocket must be timed to the
counterbalance shaft drive gear before the idler
sprocket is fully seated.
10. Install all chains, crankshaft sprocket, and idler
sprocket as an assembly. After guiding both sec-
ondary chains through the block and cylinder
head openings, affix chains with a elastic strap or
equivalent. This will maintain tension on chains to
aid in installation. Align the timing mark (2) on the
idler sprocket gear (3) to the timing mark on the
counterbalance shaft drive gear (1), then seat
idler sprocket fully. Before installing idler sprocket
bolt, lubricate washer with oil, and tighten idler
sprocketassemblyretainingboltto34Nꞏm(25ft.

NOTE: It will be necessary to slightly rotate camshafts for sprocket installation.
11. Align left camshaft sprocket “L” dot to plated link on chain.
12. Align right camshaft sprocket “R” dot to plated link on chain.
CAUTION: Remove excess oil from the camshaft sprocket bolt. Failure to do so can result in over-torque of
bolt resulting in bolt failure.
13. Remove Special Tool 8429, then attach both sprockets to camshafts. Remove excess oil from bolts, then Install
sprocket bolts, but do not tighten at this time.
14. Verify that all plated links are aligned with the marks on all sprocketsand the “V6” marks on camshaft sprockets
are at the 12 o’clock position.

CAUTION: Ensure the plate between the left sec-
ondary chain tensioner and block is correctly
installed.
15. Install both secondary chain tensioners. Tighten
boltsto28Nꞏm(250in.lbs.).
NOTE: Left and right secondary chain tensioners
are not common.
16. Remove all 3 locking pins from tensioners.
CAUTION: After pulling locking pins out of each
tensioner, DO NOT manually extend the tension-
er(s) ratchet. Doing so will over tension the
chains, resulting in noise and/or high timing chain
loads.
17. Using Special Tool 6958, Spanner with Adaptor
Pins 8346, (4) tighten left and right camshaft
sprocket bolts to 122 Nꞏm (90 ft. lbs.).

Ensurethebatteryiscompletelychargedandtheenginestartermotorisingood operating condition. Otherwise the
indicated compression pressures may not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
1. Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed air.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
3. Disable the fuel system (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY - DESCRIPTION).
4. Remove the ASD relay (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/AUTO SHUTDOWNRELAY-
REMOVAL).
5. Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate the engine with the engine starter motor for three revolutions.
6. Record the compression pressure on the 3rd revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylinders.
7. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the correct engine compression pressures.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDERCOMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating).
Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water jacket.
Any causes for combustion/compression pressure loss.
1. Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO NOT install the radiatorcap.
2. Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn the engine OFF.
3. Remove the spark plugs.
4. Remove the oil filler cap.
5. Remove the air cleaner hose.
6. Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing should maintain
483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379 kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
7. Perform the test procedures on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. Set piston of
cylinder to be tested at TDC compression,While testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through the throttle
body, tailpipe and oil filler cap opening. Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal, with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE:At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the
cylinder.

inspect the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPAR
GASKET MAKER
Mopar
Gasket 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.
MOPAR
GASKET SEALANT
Mopar
Gasket Sealant is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material isrecommended for sealing
threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and machined parts
under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layersteel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This
material also will prevent corrosion. Mopar
Gasket 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 than using precut gaskets.
Mopar
Gasket Maker material should be applied sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant 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 smearing material off the location.
Mopar
Engine 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 maybe removed with a shop towel. Com-
ponents 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.
Mopar
Gasket 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 shouldbeusedonengineswithmulti-
layer steel gaskets.
