KVR Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Hello all. I`m a new Journey owner. Bought a mint 2010 R/t, 3.5 liter with a blown head gasket. I`m into the tear down, and cant seem to get the engine side cover off to get clear of the camshafts. It`s loose but fighting me, do I need to remove the bottom section of the cover to get the top off? Would love any suggestions I can get. Help, lol.

John/Horace Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 There was a guy on here about a year ago who swapped out 3.5 head gaskets. I searched but couldn’t find it. Maybe removing front motor mounts and lowering engine from below to tilt away from fire wall will create enough clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVR Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thanks guys. Got it, didn`t realize one of the air conditioner compressor bolts fastened to the side cover. Front head is off! jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
