Fig. 2: Covers/Caps Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC Due to the high amounts of failures cased by dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign debris being introduced to the engine during service. Covers or caps are needed to reduce the possible damage that can be caused or created. Fig. 3: Opening Cover Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC Covers over openings will reduce any possibilities for foreign materials to enter the engine systems. Using miller tool (special tool #10368, Set, Universal Protective Cap), Select the appropriated cover needed to the procedure. ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION

Fig. 4: Proper Tool Usage For Surface Preparation Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC 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.
