CAUTION: Do not use oil based liquids to clean timing cover or block surfaces. Use only rubbing alcohol, along with plastic or wooden scrapers. Use no wire brushes or abrasive wheels or metal scrapers, or damage to surfaces could result.
  1. Clean timing chain cover and block surface using rubbing alcohol.
    CAUTION: The 3.7L uses a special anaerobic sealer instead of a gasket to seal the timing cover to the engine block, from the factory. For service repairs, Mopar® Engine RTV must be used as a substitute.
  2. Inspect the water passage o-rings (2) for any damage, and replace as necessary.
  3. Apply Mopar® Engine RTV sealer to front cover as shown in illustration (3) using a 3 to 4 mm thick bead.
