Removed and replaced the affected cylinder head.
Installed a new OEM cylinder head gasket and new torque-to-yield cylinder head bolts.
Inspected cylinder block deck surface and cleaned all gasket mating surfaces.
Reassembled valvetrain components and verified camshaft timing.
Replaced all required intake manifold, valve cover, timing cover, and exhaust gaskets disturbed during service.
Replaced engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs, and refilled the cooling system with the correct OAT coolant.
Bled the cooling system, cleared diagnostic trouble codes, and verified proper engine operation.
Road tested vehicle to confirm no coolant or oil leaks, proper engine performance, and no fault codes present. This follows Chrysler's service guidance to use new head bolts, replace the head gasket, change the oil/filter, install new spark plugs, and refill the cooling system after cylinder head replacement. �
