It helps to start by cleaning the oil pan and both the oil pump housing and rear seal retainer. Then apply a 1/8 inch line of Mopar(R) Engine RTV GEN II along the parting line between the oil pump housing and the rear seal retainer. After that, place the oil pan gasket (4) inside the block (5), fit the oil pan (1) with both attaching fasteners (2) and (3) firmly by hand and make sure the rear side of the oil pan is perpendicular to the transmission bell housing. Prior to doing other work, pre-check four M10 horizontal rear oil pan to transmission bolts (1) to 1.4 Nm (12 in. lbs.), followed by oil pan alignment bolt (1) to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.) and bolt (2) to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.). Screw in the remaining M8 bolts and M8 nuts until they reach 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.) and tighten the three M6 bolts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.). Finally, tighten the oil pan to transmission bolts below the engine to 55 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). After that, set the steering gear to cradle bolts by tightening the fasteners to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.) Center the gear assembly in its travel before bringing the steering coupling (2) into contact with the input shaft (3). Second, install a new pinch bolt (1) and torque it to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) when fitting the coupling. If an
Oil Cooler has been acquired, attach it and tighten the attaching bolt to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.). After that, put in the
Oil Filter and tighten it to 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.). Lower the vehicle and add the engine oil level indicator tube (2). Place the retaining bolt (1) and tighten it to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.). After that, fit the generator bracket (4) and bolts (3) and tighten the generator mounting bolt (2) to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.) and the generator bracket bolt (3) to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Pour the proper oil into the engine crankcase, making sure you do not overfill it and attach the negative
Battery Cable.
