2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 oil

3. Tighten cylinder head cover bolts and double
ended studs to 8Nꞏm (70 in. lbs). Begin torque
sequence in the middle of head cover and torque
bolts moving outward in a crisscross pattern from
top to bottom.
4. Before installing coil(s), apply dielectric grease to
inside of spark plug boots (1).
5. Install ignition coils.

6. Torque fasteners (3) to 7Nꞏm (62 in. lbs).
7. Connect, ignition coil electrical connectors (1).
8. Install PCV hose.
9. Connect battery negative cable.

5. The valve seat must maintain an angle of 44.5 –
45.0 degrees angle.
6. Thevalvefacemustmaintainafaceangleof45.0
– 45.5 degrees angle.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).
2. Compress valve springs using Valve Spring Compressor Tool special tool# C-3422and adapter 8464.
3. Remove valve retaining locks, valve spring retainers, valve stem sealsand valve springs.
4. Before removing valves, remove any burrs from valve stem lock grooves toprevent damage to the valve guides.
Identify valves to ensure installation in original location.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean valves thoroughly. Discard burned, warped and cracked valves.
2. Remove carbon and varnish deposits from inside of valve guides with a reliable guide cleaner.
3. Measure valve stems for wear. If wear exceeds 0.051 mm (0.002 inch), replace the valve.
4. Coat valve stems with lubrication oil and insert them in cylinder head.
5. If valves or seats are reground, check valve stem height. If valve is too long, replace cylinder head.
6. Install new seals on all valve guides. Install valve springs and valve retainers.
7. Compress valve springs with Valve Spring Compressor Tool special tool #C- 3422and adapter 8464, install locks
and release tool. If valves and/or seats are ground, measure the installedheight of springs. Make sure the mea-
surement is taken from bottom of spring seat in cylinder head to the bottom surface of spring retainer.
8. Install cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - INSTALLATION).

SPRINGS - VALVE
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Remove air cleaner assembly.
3. Remove air intake resonator.
4. Remove ignition coil connector (1).
5. Remove ignition coils (2).
6. Remove one spark plug.

10. Tighten cylinder head cover bolts and double
ended studs (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER
HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - INSTALLA-
TION) .
11. Install spark plugs.
12. Install ignition coil on plug (2), and torque fasten-
ers (3) to 7 Nꞏm (62 in. lbs)
13. Install ignition coil connectors (4).
14. Install air intake resonator.
15. Install air cleaner assembly.
16. Connect negative battery cable.

ENGINE BLOCK
CLEANING
Thoroughly clean the oil pan and engine block gasket surfaces.
Use compressed air to clean out:
The galley at the oil filter adaptor hole.
The front and rear oil galley holes.
The feed holes for the crankshaft main bearings.
Once the block has been completely cleaned, apply Loctite PST pipe sealantwith Teflon 592 to the threads of the
front and rear oil galley plugs. Tighten the 1/4 inch NPT plugs to 20 Nꞏm (177in. lbs.) torque. Tighten the 3/8 inch
NPT plugs to 27 Nꞏm (240 in. lbs.) torque.
INSPECTION
1. It is mandatory to use a dial bore gauge to mea-
sure each cylinder bore diameter. To correctly
select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore
gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.)
INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not
available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at
three levels below top of bore. Start perpendicular
(across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crank-
shaft and then take two additional reading.
3. Measure the cylinder bore diameter crosswise to
the cylinder block near the top of the bore. Repeat
the measurement near the middle of the bore, then
repeat the measurement near the bottom of the
bore.
4. Determine taper by subtracting the smaller diame-
ter from the larger diameter.
5. Rotate measuring device 90° and repeat steps
above.
6. Determine out-of-roundness by comparing the dif-
ference between each measurement.
7. If cylinder bore taper does not exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) and out-of-roundness does not exceed 0.015 mm
(0.0006 inch), the cylinder bore can be honed. If the cylinder bore taper orout- of-round condition exceeds these
maximum limits, the cylinder block must be replaced. A slight amount of taper always exists in the cylinder bore
after the engine has been in use for a period of time.

10. Remove both left and right cylinder heads (4)
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD -
REMOVAL).
11. Remove the oil pan (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRI-
CATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).

12. Remove timing case cover (1) (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT / CHAIN COVER(S) -
REMOVAL).
13. Remove the oil pick up tube.
14. Remove the oil pump (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRICATION/OIL PUMP - REMOVAL).
