hydrashocker, can i just get you to confirm the specs i found a pic online of the 4.7L torque specs as per below and they dont match. Just getting ready to install cylinder head.




Thanks so much

 

Bobman, what anaerobic sealant do i need and and you mention on the bed plates is that the areas the head gasket doesnt cover at the front of the engine

Thanks

 

That's what I got which is the left side, but please download the manual for pictures and so forth. I did not see exactly what sealant they refer to.

INSTALLATION - LEFT CYLINDER HEAD

NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened using
a torque plus angle procedure. The bolts must be
examined BEFORE reuse. If the threads are necked
down the bolts should be replaced.

Necking can be checked by holding a straight edge
against the threads. If all the threads do not contact
the scale, the bolt should be replaced (Fig. 20).

CAUTION: When cleaning cylinder head and cylinder
block surfaces, DO NOT use a metal scraper
because the surfaces could be cut or ground. Use

only a wooden or plastic scraper.

(1) Clean the cylinder head and cylinder block
mating surfaces (Fig. 21).
(2) Position the new cylinder head gasket on the
locating dowels.

CAUTION: When installing cylinder head, use care
not damage the tensioner arm or the guide arm.

(3) Position the cylinder head onto the cylinder
block. Make sure the cylinder head seats fully over
the locating dowels.

NOTE: The four smaller cylinder head mounting
bolts require sealant to be added to them before
installing. Failure to do so may cause leaks.

(4) Lubricate the cylinder head bolt threads with
clean engine oil and install the ten M11 bolts.
(5) Coat the four M8 cylinder head bolts with

Mopar

NOTE: The cylinder head bolts are tightened using
an angle torque procedure, however, the bolts are
not a torque-to-yield design.

(6) Tighten the bolts in sequence (Fig. 22) using
the following steps and torque values:

Thanks hydrashocker very much appreciated

 

The manual says to use Mopar Lock and Seal Adhesive is there an equivalent like loctite?

 

Not that I know of. Loctite blue isn't a sealant, but it is a thread locker. The Mopar product is both and work in imperfect conditions. Your working on a head, better do it right especially on a 4.7L. I would make a trip to the local dealer.

 

For the intake manifold it says refer to r and i procedure ? I have a 5.2 l i did the plenum on and need specs
