  Q: How to Remove a Timing Cover on Dodge Sprinter 2500?

  A:

  You should first open the car's hood, remove the engine cover and disconnect the remote battery's ground before taking off the timing cover. Uplift and sustain the vehicle and then make the engine rotation 40 degrees after Top Dead Center. Put in the crankshaft locking tool and take off the lower splash shield. Drain the coolant and the oil inside the engine and afterwards remove the lower bolt of the oil dipstick tube. Lift up the vehicle, remove the Grille and cooling module and next pull out the PCM and engine harness. After that, unbolt and take out the upper oil dipstick tube, the oil dipstick and tube, the Intake Manifold and the air pump. Unscrew and remove the bolts from the lower Oil Pan, followed by the lower oil pan and then do the same with the upper oil pan bolts and upper oil pan. The next step is to remove the accessory Drive Belt, the thermostat housing and the thermostat gasket and after that take off the accessory drive Belt Tensioner assembly and the oil filter/cooler housing. Take off the idler pulley, the crankshaft damper bolt and the crankshaft damper pulley and also remove the Water Pump pulley bolts and the water pump pulley. Take out the water pump and gasket and after that, remove the left front cylinder head cover and the right side air control valve bolts and valve. Take out the right air control valve gasket, the upper right front cylinder head cover, the left air control valve, the left air control valve gasket and the left air control valve adapter gasket. Move the Power Steering Pump and AC compressor to the side, remove the generator and take off the covers on both the left and right cylinders. Get rid of the Timing Chain Tensioner, install a drift where it will lock the gears found in the Camshaft and remove the roll pins at the right cylinder head. Take off the center valve bolts, remembering that the bolts on the intake camshaft are on the left-side and the bolts on the exhaust camshaft are on the right. Be sure to keep the Timing Chain from falling by taking off the CMP plates and then removing the camshaft adjusters. Afterward, come to the cylinder head to front cover bolts and notice that the front cover bolts are not all the same size, then remove all of them and the front cover.

  Q: How to Install the Upper Right Timing Cover on Dodge Sprinter 2500?

  A:

  Make sure the sealing surface of the upper left front cover is clean from oil and dirt before you install the upper right front cover. Put Loctite 7200 or an alternative sealing compound onto the left upper front cover sealing surface in a bead about 1.0 mm thick. Finish installation within 10 minutes after putting on the compound. Fix the front right upper cover to the mounting studs and seal them with bolts tightened to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.). Place the engine harness in position and link the right camshaft position sensor plugs. After that, use the right gasket for the air control valve, as well as the valve and its bolts. Ensure you tighten the bolts to 14 Nm (124 in. lbs.). After mounting the air control valve air tube, bolt on the air pump and engine cover bracket carefully to a torque of 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.). Then handle the remote ground and secure the engine cover.
