I know how to change cylinder head gaskets, But got to say this is one of the most informative and clear videos I've seen on any vehicle repair video on TH-cam.
Excellent job fellas.
and like 90% of car related video's, they didn't say what they charged the customer to do this.
The setup on the 3.3 is almost identical to the 3.8, just used this to get my head gaskets done. Thanks for the video!
3.8L here also . What were any main areas that made this different from the 3.3L ? .... Thanks for any info .
Did you get your exhaust manifold bolts out without breaking them
@@mtyler7807 surprisingly yes
@@KZ3W Honestly I can't remember but it was minimal.
Best mechanical repair video I have seen. The method of showing what has to be removed then forwarding to show it removed is perfect. I followed your video instructions on how to do a Prius head gasket and then dove into my 2010 Prius last fall; it went well. Now the 4.0L caravan has a blown gasket. Your videos are golden. Think it's time for me to donate :).
Thanks so much for this vid! My mom screwed her piston rings when she overheated her town and country, then gave it to me lol. Now I know exactly what I’m in for
Awesome instructional video! Top notch in every aspect and very informative with good commentary. Well done!
This is the best quality repair vid I have ever laid ayes on! Thank you!
You make it look so easy. I've been very intimidated to replace some gaskets, this was extremely helpful
That's a nice trick with just moving the rear exhaust manifold out of the way to get to the head bolts! I've been struggling trying to detatch it from the cat...the four corroded bolts are stuck on there pretty tight.
Man awesome video. Couldn’t have been done any better. Appreciate people like you
Thank you. You just convinced me to keep my 2008 van. I don’t have much to lose at this point.
Great job, I would have changed the oil too after that job before starting the engine. It's possible coolant mixed in with the oil. I also would put the car into clear flood mode and crank several times to flow the oil prior to ignition.
Excellent job just guys very well explained and great video!!
Me subieron el ánimo, hace muy poco compré una chrysler town country, creyendo que había comprado un problemon y me doy cuenta que mecánicamente son muy simples.
Cylinder 5 in mine was showing on the plug. Thank you so much for this video, having an expedition (5.4 turd on motor number 2, cam bearing cylinder 3) I was relieved to see how flippin easy this was for the wife's gc. Subscribed!
These guys are real mechanics!
Bad ass quick and to the point explanation and alternatives to take during this process
Thanks for the video!
Don't forget to clean top of the block before slappin the new head gaskets on there
❤this was soooooo helpful and it's exactly what is going on with my van
Thanks so much, this will be my next project in my T&C. 3.8
Great video. This year van has tons of room it looks like.
My 3.8l is one of those that uses 2 quarts oil between changes. Planning to remove heads and oil pan to rering the engine. Also have heads rebuilt with new valve guides and seals.
( Also have heads rebuilt with new valve guides and seals ) .
Just curious ,,, what would rough price range cost for that ? ....... Thanks .
Awesome video, nice, clean, and concise, thanks guys!
Seriously, thank you!
Blessings!
My 3.8l has what looks like an external head gasket leak.
When I replace it will I need to do both heads or can I just do the bad head?
Thanks guys this video was really helpful. I am working on a 3.8 not much different thank you.
Great video, I'm about to try and fix my wife's 2004. One question tho, you didn't seem to bother matching the push rods to where they sat. Most mechanics put them in order on a piece of cardboard. Is it something with these engines and sloppy tolerances and/or hydraulic lifters that make that unnecessary?
Gracias me sirvió de mucho sigan subiendo más videos saludos de un mecánico de Perú.
Thank you and thank u two toes
Thanks for uploading this video you guys just gave me confidence to take my 3.8 liter motor apart which is same exact set up. Would you recommend removing the heads for a cross threaded spark plug hole on cylinder 3? I purchased a spark plug thread chaser but I read that while using it, metal shavings will fall inside cylinder hole and cause internal damage.
Put piston up on top in cylinder you working on. Tap out for helicoil Attach thin hose to vacuum. Vaccuum it out! Done many motorcycle and cars that way and you don’t have to take off heads!
Nice video, I might have to change my. Thanks
Greate job you are the best!
Great video sir
Good instruction video. Would the same steps as in this video apply to a 3.8 L, v 6 in a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan? When putting both heads back is there is anything to watch out for, or to be super careful? Do you have another video of putting the heads back on?
U can forget an answer, I see by the comments they don't bother answering any questions.
Awesome job. Thanks guys
Great job! thanks
Thanks so much for the video
I HAVE THE SAME VAN AND IT HAS 2100000 MILES AN STILL GOING AND IT JUST PASS SMOG CHECK ‼️
Does this apply to the Chrysler Grand Voyaher 2007? The engine looks fairly simullar.
Do u u have to take off more things if u have a 2007 dodge caravan 3.3? My altenator is lower than the one u guys r working on here. Great video but wish u would b slower and explain things more.
Got my head off from you help my question would be if the valves should all be closed when off I have one open and I’m sure that is my running issue
THE BEST ... ABOUT TO TACKLE.
I watched all the videos
Any way to clean the piston heads before putting it all back together?
Thank you
Replacing the PS fluid with ATF +4 per Chrysler’s recommendation will quiet that PS pump right down.
Watching this video as I get ready to do head gaskets on a 13’ with 580,000 miles.
Any tips on the 15 mm lifter bolts? I've sprayed several times and I can't get them off. Impact and everything.
How much do you guys charge to do the head gaskets? I've got an 05 Town & Country with a 3.3, I just bought it a week ago, only has 120,000 Mi on it, the guy I bought it from was a shyster, radiator is full of head gasket repair dope, no water in the oil, OR out the exhaust, but it's pushing out the overflow, must be blown between cylinders
I wish u would have shown taking out the rear bolts
عمل ممتاز
شكرا لكم
👍🏼🌼💯
Would this tutorial work for a 2004 Chrysler Town & Country? I heard they are very similar. Mines a 3.8 litre v6 though.
Thanks for the video. The plastic Y pipe on my 2010 DGC with a 3.3 decided to split and dumped all my coolant. It overheated and now I have a misfire on cylinder 3. I know my head more than likely warped and will need to be repaired by a machine shop. Anything else I need to think about? My skilll level is advanced DIY. Thanks.
How much would a shop charge to have the heads machined? I’m losing coolant somewhere and I’m guessing through the head gaskets.
thank you very much for this nice video . can you please tell me the torque specification for the head bolts how many ft lbs i think you said they are 8 bolts. thank you
Could you help me out? I have that minivan, 3.3, 2010 Flexfuel. While driving on the highway uphill a strong metallic noise started coming from the motor (about 38 miles from the starting point). I still drove, in those conditions, over 250 km. The mechanic says that the motor is 100% gone and that the repair will be over 1,000 USD (I'm in Mexico). Is it possible that the damage is located exclusively in the crankshaft and bearing metals?
Хорошая работа. Спасибо.
Excellent video guys. Question 1: Was the head leaking oil (reason for head gasket replacement) or just because of mileage? Question 2: You mentioned having the heads machined. Is that a typical practice when head gaskets are being replaced? How long did you have to wait for the heads to be ready for you. Thanks from Vancouver, Canada.
Can a head gasket cause a misfire on a specific cylinder.?
Hi
I own a Dodge Caravan with a 3.8 engine size
The car suffers from such fuel exchange
40 liters of gasoline travel only 100 km
The engine is in good condition
The nipple sensor is on and it has been tested
The nozzles (fuel spray) have been replaced with original quality
Currently only there is a p0325 code
Does this sensor increase fuel exchange?
what should I do
I also had that problem, bought myself an OBD2 scanner and i had the same engine code as yours, turned out to be a dead knock sensor.
These engines would make for a fun custom sports car build/conversion. Not blisteringly fast or anything, but if it didn't have to carry a van and got some basic mods....
Is that all for the intake gasket the metal
is for the 3.8 engine the same thing? 2005
did you replace the head bolts and how do you like that earthquake ratchet
I had to do the front head gasket to set one of the pushrods that came undone. Once we put everything back together, my van wouldn't start. It cranks, but no start. Tried to bypass the fuel pump relay using a wire, but still no luck. No fuel coming out from the fuel line. What are the changes that the fuel pump went bad at the same time? Any suggestion what could it be the cause of it? Mine is also 2008 grand caravan. Does this van have inertia or shut off mode? Thanks in advance
Electronics contact cleaner? Did you fix it ?
I have 3.3 liter 08 same one you're working on. 91,000 miles it's spitting and sputtering but no engine light. Help
So I just finished replacing the upper and lower manifold gaskets on my 05 as well as the valve cover gaskets...If I had gone all the way and took the heads off, they HAVE to be reground ? You can't just remove them, change the gasket and put them back right ? I know I sound stupid but I'm not a mechanic, I just knew I could save 5k in labor with the work I've already performed...the engine doesn't seem to be leaking from the head gasket anyway, was just curious..thx.
if the head is warped you want it fixed while you have it off. otherwise you'll still have issues and will have to take everything apart again.
can you reuse the TTY headbolts?
Great job, I have a cuestión, Did you put the engine on time before you disarmed everything?
No need to. We never affected the timing with this process.
Gasket Masters I really appreciate your help God bless you always
What about the timing chain/belt?
What's the amount of time spent doing this task? Got a 2010 DGC and I am usually on-call 24/7/365... but I can schedule upto 8hrs off if need be...
Hello Gasket Masters, Great videos any chance you have on of a 3.6L Dodge Grand Caravan 11-20?
what torque is it for the intake bolts
Do you still have that? I cracked my windshield. Would love to buy it off you.
So when taking off the head, it's actually 8 bolts per side?
Not a mechanic but I'm tempted to go try to fix my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. I'm having this same problem.
What’s the torque spec on the intake?
My 08 dodge grand caravan 3.3 liter it has 71, 000 miles and hesitation and jerks when giving gas , do you know what causes that?
Hey guys great video can you tell me if it's the same to do the 2009 4.0 liter engine question mark
Completely different
Hello from the leaning tower of Pisa, can you tell me where to buy the head gaskets for my 3.3 L Grand Voyager online? From Germany only the valve cover gaskets cost €58 each plus shipping, they probably cost less in the USA but above all I'm interested in having the ones you used for the cylinder heads, my car is from 2008.
It has been a while since I last did a head-gasket replacement. Would the tappets require readjustment after 0.011 were milled off the head or do these newer engines adjust for that automatically?
@JackofAll MasterofNone Thank you
Wate till you try and remove the trans. way to many brackets, a big pain.
I change my head gasket on my 2001 Chrysler town and country but I hear a small tapping on the back cylinder head. I feel the lifters is stuck so do I have to remove the cylinder head to change the lifters
This not use timing belt, how is the cylinder position?
My mom bought one that likes to over heat 3 radiators 2 water pumps 3 thermostats. Have no clue how much coolant. And it keeps over heating. We did a vapor block test and not getting the color change. Need someone to have a tip.
You should have the cooling system pressure tested, either by a shop with a coolant pressure tester or you could purchase one and perform the test yourself.
So for that job on that Dodge Caravan how much should I pay the mechanic
500$
Probably won't get anybody to respond. but I got a gr caravan in shop they've had it for a wk. Said it had leck at head and still wont fix it. They keep saying need to know why guess of leck. So that extended warranty will cover fix. Any advice. Oh and at some point said it was cylinder 1
Is that the same for 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan
Fords are crap🤣🤣🤣🤣! Great commentary during the video enjoyed working on my Caravan,thanks
How do I replace the oxygen sensor
I’m sure I’ll be ridiculed for this but I had a coolant leak coming from the radiator and water pump. I had just been topping it off with water until I could get the time to mess with it. We had an unseasonably cold night in Nov and I think the water may have froze inside the cooling system. What’s the chance I cracked the block or cylinder head? I know the van overheated the next day. When I noticed it I limped it home about 3 miles and parked it. My coolant is definitely going somewhere still. I changed the water pump, thermostat, lower radiator hose, coolant temp sensor, and radiator. I don’t see any white smoke coming from the exhaust. Oil looks like straight oil. No leaks on the driveway. Could it just be the head gasket?
My moms has similar not sure whats going on i test for gasket leak and it wasn't testing positive. But its still possible its the head gasket I read.
It's unlikely ice cracked your block. It would expand the coolant hoses first and even if those got to max, you'd probably crack the radiator which is aluminum before you cracked the head or the block.
Did you reuse the head bolts?
No. It is recommended to use new cylinder head bolts.
How much a job like this cost
no exhaust gaskets?
Is it still running?
This is how I take the whole engine out the top... Way lots easier. You can damn near get two guy to just lift it out...
Just to add. Dodge adding that Accessory bracket on the front of the engine. To hold all their pulley, alternator and PS pump was genius.. As taking that plate off is even easy....If you ever do a Oil pump and timing chain....
Looking for same on a 3.8L engine... is it the exact same procedure? Assume largely the same... but gotta be careful with assumptions.
Pretty much the same
Hi, whom do you send the parts too, to have them checnked?
Well you made it look easy want to send you ten dollars how?
I just finished mine and when I started it it was smoking out of the exhaust manafold. What on earth did I do wrong?
That's just from grabbing it with oily hands. Unless it never went away and maybe you have a drip from a valve cover gasket.
Change that can check fuel injection manifold leak catalytic converter it's like renew the car but not the transmission that's another invest
Dude you sound like mayhem the fighter
