INSTALLATION 

NOTE:

Engine assembly requires the use of a unique sealant that is compatible with engine oil. Using a sealant other than Mopar® RTV MS-GF44 or Mopar® Axle RTV MS-GF46 when specified may result in engine fluid leakage.

NOTE:

Following the application of Mopar® RTV MS-GF44 or Mopar® Axle RTV MS-GF46 to the gasket surfaces, the components must be assembled within 10 minutes and the attaching fasteners must be tightened to specification within the next 10 minutes. Prolonged exposure to the air prior to assembly may result in engine fluid leakage.
