Dodge Caravan Cylinder Head
The purpose of the Dodge Caravan Cylinder Head is to seal the minivan engine and to breathe. The engine draws in the fuel-air mix and expels the exhaust. The Cylinder Head also holds the compression to create power. In early iterations, this Cylinder Head was manufactured from cast iron, but later Dodge versions switched to aluminum to enable lighter mass, faster heat shedding, and better power-to-weight balance. The Caravan Cylinder Head in each of these styles has a strengthened port area that can be shaped to improve airflow without breaking into water jackets. This results in increased horsepower. In order for a healthy head to work properly, it relies upon a well-made gasket seal. In this manner, the head bolts being applied are single-use. This is the reason why Dodge mandates the use of single-use torque-to-yield head bolts. These head bolts stretch to their yield point, and as a consequence, it creates a uniform clamp load. This all combines to reduce the chances of leakage and to ensure that the gasket is not damaged and is sealed properly, which prevents leakage. A failure of the gasket between cylinders causes power loss, while one that leaks towards the coolant or oil passages will cause overheating or fluid mixing. If the Caravan overheats, a warped Cylinder Head or burnt valves may be indicated that leaves a cylinder dead and causes drips. The Cylinder Head of the Dodge Caravan resists heat and minimizes restrictions for enhanced efficiency.

Dodge Caravan Cylinder Head Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to properly remove and reinstall cylinder heads in 3.3L and 3.8L V6 engine on Dodge Caravan?A:Make sure the engine has come to room temperature before you go ahead and free the cylinder head bolts. Take the connection of the cable with the negative terminal of the battery, then, un-bolt the intake manifold and disconnect the wires and vacuum hoses belonging to the cylinder heads and label them for reuse. Remove the bypass wires of the ignition, and take out the spark plugs, being sure to mark the wires at the same time. Take off the Exhaust Manifold, valve covers, Rocker Arms and the push rods. Taking a new cylinder head gasket put the contour of the cylinder head including the bolt locations on the cardboard with arrows showing the front of the engine. Remove the cylinder head mounting bolts one at a time in the reverse of the pattern used while tightening, turning each a quarter turn apart from finally placing them in a cardboard holder. Remove the cylinder heads from the engine carefully without scratching the mating surface; if there is much resistance, look for any bolt that might have been left out and which will require you to use a hammer and a wooden block in order to loosen the gasket. When removed, it is recommended to put cylinder heads on wooden planks in order to avoid scratching. The cylinder heads should also undergo through the services of a professional automotive machine shop. Make sure that each cylinder head mating surface and the engine block mating surfaces are free from any form of carbon deposite and old gasket material before installation using gasket scraper to scrape off the deposits and then wiping the surface clean with either lacquer thinner or acetone. If you had to use a file on the mating surfaces, it should be checked for nicks or other forms of damage; if you have to machine the mating surfaces, again check for nicks or other forms of damage. Bring a tap to run in the cylinder head bolt holes. Align the new gasket over the dowel pins in the engine block, make sure the markings if any, are facing upwards and towards the front, and place the cylinder head over the engine block in a similar manner so as not to displace the gasket. Carefully examine each cylinder head bolt for necking-down or stretching by holding it on a straight-edge; replacing all bolts that do not touch the straight-edge. It is recommended to tighten the head bolts in the recommended sequence and to the specified torque, then to tighten them again to the same torque as a check, and then to turn them additional 90 degrees the same sequence without using a torque wrench. If you have removed the components in a clockwise direction, then installation of the remaining components is done in a similar anticlockwise sequence.. Replace the oil and the filter, fill the cooling system, power up the engine and look for leaks and proper functioning.
