To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface preparation must be performed, especially with the use of
aluminum engine components and multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets.
Never use the following to clean gasket surfaces:
Metal scraper
Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block and head
High speed power tool with an abrasive pad (1), 3M Roloc™ Bristle Disc (2), or a wire brush (3)
Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:
Solvent or a commercially available gasket remover
Plastic scraper
Sealing surfaces must be free of grease or oil residue. Clean surfaces with Mopar® brake parts cleaner (or
equivalent)
COMPRESSION TEST

1. Warm up the engine to operating temperature (approximately 80 degrees C).
3 - PLASTIC SCRAPER
NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require a scratch free sealing surface.

2. Shut off the engine.
3. Disable the low pressure fuel pump.
4. Remove the fuel injectors. Refer to INJECTOR(S), FUEL, REMOVAL .
5. Cranks the engine with the starter to remove combustion residue in the cylinders.
6. Install the (special tool #VM.10010, Adapter, Compression Test) into the fuel injector bore of the
cylinder to be tested. Install the fuel injector retainer, bolt and securely tighten.
7. Test compression pressure by cranking the engine with the starter for at least eight revolutions.
8. Measure the pressure in all of the cylinders.
9. Remove the (special tool #VM.10010, Adapter, Compression Test).
10. Install the fuel injectors. Refer to INJECTOR(S), FUEL, INSTALLATION .
