Uhmmm, what professional place am I at? For all you no/see I could be doing this in my kitchen. You call a sped up video rushed because you can't grasp what I'm saying or are you just upset with Firestone? You on youtube looking for youtube videos just to ask youtube video makers why are they recording youtube videos????? At least try to make it make sense bruh
Had the famous 3.6 tick. I used your videos as a guide and just completed the repairs. Using your rocker arm inspection process I found a bad right exhaust cam, one broken rocker, and one damaged rocker. After viewing your videos I was able to complete the job, no more ticking and the van sounds like new. I use this van to provide for my family and keeping it running is very essential. Thank you for your precise and clear instructions you are a god send again thank you and keep up the good work.
I remember pulling Valve cover off a Chrysler 4cylinder mini van ‘ one intake rocker was laying there ‘ I bought one lifter to replace the one that seemed weaker than the rest and was collapsing. I soaked in oil for and hour and put it in. I got the lifter back in Place and reassembled it ‘. Ran like a Champ after that. Blew my mind!!!
Thank you so much for posting this (and all your Pentastar engine videos) ! My son and I were able to repair his 2015 Jeep Wranger "ticking" problem that had gone on for months. We did have to replace the bank 1 intake cam (badly worn lobe) because of a badly failed rocker arm. This video made it possible for me to understand how to release the timing chain tension with nothing more than a long thin screwdriver doing what the tension tool does. We also wedged a large flat blade srewdriver between the phaser sprockets, accomplishing the same thing the phaser lock tool does. Of course we marked the timing chain and held the cams with a wrench while loosening and tightening the phaser bolts. Actually an very easy and do-able job, thanks to you! Words of advise to everyone else.....move the transmission dipstick and move the dipstick tube out of the way by removing the upper hold down bolt and loosing the lower one, then lift out the tube. That will give you plenty of room to access the upper PCV bolt. Also, Loosen oil dipstick tube. Finally remove the fender flare and wheelwell liner as a single unit to gain easy access to the back the valve cover and lower PCV bolt, along with better access to the side of the valve cover. This simple step will make the job SO MUCH EASIER on a Jeep.
Hey Greg, congrats on a successful fix. I'm currently in the middle of this job on my 2015 JK as well. I'm unable to get the tensioner released on the passenger side. I'm curious how you did it without the tool seeing how I broke the plastic one I just ordered. Kinda dead in the water until I can get that tensioner released.
Trick: I work at the dealer too and I’m the main engine tech. Use the tool to compress the tensioner before you remove the phaser, and just leave it in place till your done. The block holds the cams in place for torquing/loosening the phaser bolts, you don’t need a wrench on the cam. The actual trick, you don’t need the tools, just the block, crack both cam bolts loose, remove the 1 your working on, loosen the other one a few threads and you can just slide the cam phasers all the way off without pressing on the tensioner, just keep the block in place and it’ll rest on the timing cover, and when you go to reinstall, use a wrench to rock the cams back and forth a little to line up the phasers notch on the cam. Doesn’t save much time, but maybe 6 mins? I do this job all day long, everyday lol… I turned about 16-24 hours a day doing these. Each bank pays me 8 hours, 1.5 hours diag, 6.5 for repair. I’m sure you know the shortcut to replacing the left bank head too, without removing the T/C, pays a good 16 hours and can be back on the road in as little as 5 hours.
lol, yes you guys are doing it over there. At my other shop Brothers Motors we lowered our rate to be cheaper than everybody else and still make a good profit. It works out great. And yes, when the camera off, all short cuts activated. The customer only concern with the end goal of a non-ticking engine.
Where are guys like you two hiding in the real world 🍺 I'm constantly on the hunt for local techs that "get it" and know this stuff and just get it done. What's the real time I should expect to spend on this job if I want to do it (mostly) right and replace the lifters too? I'm far from being a good car mechanic but I'm willing to try and know my way around using tools. I'd also do plugs, coils and pcv.
This is one of your best videos. I am still in a learning curve on Phasers and need the confidence and know how your providing to get the job done. Mechanical and valve timing are the most crucial element in an engines overall build. Keep up the great videos.

Ya know. Just a tip. Prob alot of guys watch your stuff to gain the knowledge to repair themselves. You do a good job showing how to do things but what you lack is the torque specs.

You are an excellent presenter , I understand some frustration with the rushed video but I have worked in yhe business for a long time and it's challenging to video a job when you are trying to make money
I'm looking to buy a use Promaster. It gets a lot of bad reviews. After watching a of OMT's videos I have a lot less fear of them. Compared to the MB Sprinter, parts are easily available, way less expensive, lots of help videos and blogs available. Thanks for the education OMT, knowledge is the cure for fear.
Great talking with you! I hope you're making some side monies on these vids. They're saving me and others lots of money and time. I'll give you a shout when I complete the Journey. THANKS AGAIN💯💯👍🤘🤘✌
O yes, both. 2 side jobs set up for this weekend 3.6 tickers. As for the video revenue, its all about the ads on the vids. If they are watched, thats a good think. Good luck on that Journey bud.
You really should soak those new lifters in oil overnight before you install them. But hey who am I. Oh yeah a former Ford AND Chrysler Dealership Technician with over 30 years as a professional.😂😂😂😂
You said that as if I would have a problem with it or something. Fact is, you right. It's just that I never do. But that is a good habit to get use to. Oil pressure after starting fairly good/quick tho. That valve train will become lubricated in a matter of seconds. But thanks for the tip
Thank you, couldn't find any of this info in alldata or shop key pro, but the labor rate reflects using these tools and not pulling timing cover as it specifies.
So I replace the flex plate on my 012 journey, with the 3.6L V6. I turned the crankshaft counterclockwise to remove the 4 bolts that connect the flexplat to the torque converter. I was told that you should always turn it CW. I hope I didn't brake anything.
The thinking goes, you should rotate the engine the same direction that it runs. But rest assure, you didn't hurt anything bud. I do it from time to time. Thanks for watching. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
@@OnlineMechanicTips thanks for the reply. Been stressed about it all day. Hopefully i can get everything put together and have it back on the road. Thanks again.
It would be cool to talk to you about my 3.6 Dodge Journey instead of tiping all the time you can catch me on messenger if you want and possibly do a video call
So spoke with you awhile back, yes im subscribed, trying to get my cam phaser back on, timing chain tool ( for whatever readon ) aint working, you suggested rotating the exhaust cam towards the intake which should work, but its not, chain slips off, im guessing i screwed up some how
Question from a new ‘23 Gladiator 3.6 owner. Has Jeep corrected this problem in later production or is it still an issue with the 3.6? I’ve noticed some other manufacturers use this same design and don’t seem to have the problem. Nice video sir!
Thanks and yes. All the Gladiators use the Gen 3 Pentstar engine. Most of the previous problems was found on the gen 1 and 2 Pentastar engines. Thanks for watching. Please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe the channel for me, thanks
Your videos rock, because of your vids, I tackled this repair myself, all went well with the left side. replacing all 24 rockers. had trouble on the right side, I had the gear lock tool in place and when I broke loose the nut for the oil control valve, the tool popped out. After replacing all the exh. rockers had trouble getting slack in the chain., got the tool in place but there doesn't seem to be enough slack in the chain to get the exh. gear to slip on the cam. My question is it possible to get the chain out of time on the crank with having a loose chain flopping around up top...... thanks for your help
You have a video on replacing the timing chain guide on a 2015 Jeep Patriot limited 2.0 ? . I am doing my daughter’s vehicle, thanks for shearing a great video
This is my first time replacing a timing chain, on a 2015 malibu so i screwed up big time. i took the spark plugs out and turned the crankshaft a few times around trying to see if the marks lined up. I turned quite a number of revolutions out of stupidity. Then I took the chain off and turned the cam intake sprocket , (not loose from the rocker) around too thinking i could fix the timing by setting the mark at 10 o'clock, so it went freely. Then I tried to pull the exhaust pully also attatched to the the rocker arm. I was so stupid that i thought that rotating one at a time I could set them at 10 o'clock and 2 oclock, which is is the way they are supposed to be. Well, of course the exhaust I pulled with the chain, but when I took the chain off, it pulled right back. So now I know I have to losen the bolts to do it, but how do i start from scratch now? Help please. If you even understand the stupidity I did. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
I should not be able to rock the camshaft independently of the phaser, correct? I suspect I have a bank one exhaust phaser that needs replacing because I can put a wrench on the cam and move the cam back and forth easily while the phaser stays solid. I also have a P0340 code, and I presume the variable valve timing has been trying to keep the cam in the right place just through oil pressure rather than a mechanical lock.
Your assumptions are correct my friend. I highly suggest replacing that phaser. In fact, because there is know suggested time interval for phaser replacement, I started suggesting they get replaced at around 100k or when ever you are making a valve train repair. Thanks for watching and being a subscriber.
Great job, can you please tel me what size socket and the part number for the sprocket on the camshaft ( I tried to read the make and part number, I can’t
I have done over 50 of these. Your a master! . I think too many miles on the oil, too much idling with worn oil, possibly wore oil pump?. I change oil every 1k.
Why not try to move the crank by the cam? Before I saw your video I tried this. Could I have hurt something? Why not hold the cam without the sprocket tool? That’s how I took the phasers off. Could I have hurt something doing this? Do you add rtv back the section where the front cover meets the valve cover?
Because thats to much of a load on that chain which could jump if you using the cam to turn the crank. And yes, we use RTV to reseal the cover in the case you mentioned,
Just tore down a 19 3.6 with a #4 misfire. Pulled the valve cover and the intake cam lobe looked like I grinded the highest point with a bench grinder. P0304. I'm swapping both cams lifters and rockers. Why are so many of these camshafts getting ground down on?
do you reapply gasket sealant at the seam of timing cover when you reinstall the valve cover? just curious, seems like the valve cover gasket takes care of any leaks.
I really appreciate this video! I was able to replace the rocker arms and lifters on my 2018 Pacifica. One question hopefully someone can answer. I did not do the rockers and lifters on the intake cams. My engine has the VVL on the intake side. The rockers are expensive! After I finished the exhaust cams and started it up. The tapping sounds is still there! I'm thinking about taking it back down and replacing just the lifters on the exhaust side. I'll inspect the rockers at the same time. Any other ideas as to where the tapping noise is coming from? Hopefully just a bad lifter.
Hey JT...happy new year....do you have a video on how to do a valve cover gasket on a 2012 dodge charger 3.6...about to do mines .your videos have the best infor...

hi i just like and subscribe yea the tool you use to loose tension on the chain for bank one head t when can i actually buy it that is metal not plastic. please if you can point me in the direction.@@OnlineMechanicTips

Hey great video, I have a problem and hoping u have a answer. I removed cam after marking my chain and cam phasers at top dead center. I also put a cam phaser lock block inbetween the gears. But prior to all that, I was changing just the rockers and lifters on bank 1 side the intake because i found immediately the bad rocker. So i competed intake side and moved to exhause side and realized i couldnt remove the lifters because they were closer to cam than the intake side. So i ended up getting the block in place and painted chain and cam phazer while i was at tdc. I slid the cam phazer back just alittle with block still in place and removed cam and replaced all lifters on exhaust side and rockers and slid cam back in and lined cam phazer back up and slid it on. Tighten it all back up and removed block and turned crank and i hear a noise a couple of times as i turn crank. Now before i did intake side i was turning crank alittle forward and alittle backwards to get the lobes in the right spot to get rockers and lifters out. My question is, what might the noise be that im hearing while i turn the crank?
Hello. Please help is needed I’m not a mechanic just doing my minivan. I did bank 2 as per your instructions on another video( thank YOU) . Now I’m doing bank 1 but I have small problem removing the valve cover. There is only one bolt left at the right upper corner . I’m not sure if it’s a bolt or not but its preventing me from removing the cover. Please note I removed all the 12 bolts except this one.
I have a 2010 Buick Enclave with 3.6L. It's slightly different from the Chrysler 3.6L. Is the process the same and could I use the same tools you're using? I can't find the tools for GM. Only one is the en-48313 and it's $169. That's not what I want. I will use this 1 time only.
Just bought a 2014 grand caravan 3.6. Was throwing a code P0305 when I bought it. Thought I would get lucky with new plug and coil. No luck. Still throwing the same code. Make a clunking noise. Thought it was just one of the pulleys but local mechanic said no. Pulled the valve cover off of the back and cam lobes all look good. Van runs, just throwing same code and clunking noise. Any advice on how to proceed. Your videos are some of the best I've seen. The cut away really helps. Thanks for taking the time to make these awesome videos.
@@pedaldork My friend. You should need a reason to remove the cyl head. This is not a easy job. Verify that the head should have to be removed. Run a compression test, If that cyl low, then yes, theres your need to remove the head. If compression at specs then you should keep looking. Have the cat been replaced on bank 1? Are you sure the injector not causing the misfire, you could easily swap/move over an injector to see if misfire follows.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Would a bad injector cause such a loud knocking noise? (originally was hoping it was a bad pulley). Will do a compression test in the morning. If fails compression, then I'll take it to a garage as anything beyond the valves is beyond my paygrade. Thanks for your help.
I have a question, I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with the 3.6 , 43000 miles, upon the last oil change the filter has shiny specks in the filter. No metal specks in the pan. No tick or knocking noise. Is this the beginning of rockers failing? Or ? Always use full synthetic oil.
Why is you rushing a job at a professional place 😩 that’s why Firestone be fucking up my oil change they be to busy recording TH-cam videos
Uhmmm, what professional place am I at? For all you no/see I could be doing this in my kitchen. You call a sped up video rushed because you can't grasp what I'm saying or are you just upset with Firestone?

You really should soak those new lifters in oil overnight before you install them. But hey who am I. Oh yeah a former Ford AND Chrysler Dealership Technician with over 30 years as a professional.😂😂😂😂
You said that as if I would have a problem with it or something. Fact is, you right. It's just that I never do. But that is a good habit to get use to. Oil pressure after starting fairly good/quick tho. That valve train will become lubricated in a matter of seconds. But thanks for the tip
when you say things like that people are less likely to believe you. uncalled for a hole 😂 id be an a hole too i looked like that 🤦♂️
Very well done sir. You got my subscription!
I appreciate that Rick. Thanks for watching bud
Thank you, couldn't find any of this info in alldata or shop key pro, but the labor rate reflects using these tools and not pulling timing cover as it specifies.
Great video JT.
Chrysler tech too, been doing this for years.
Great instructional and close up of the bolt used for collapsing the tensionor.👍
You wanna change my rockers

Thank you, another great video!!!
So I replace the flex plate on my 012 journey, with the 3.6L V6. I turned the crankshaft counterclockwise to remove the 4 bolts that connect the flexplat to the torque converter. I was told that you should always turn it CW. I hope I didn't brake anything.
The thinking goes, you should rotate the engine the same direction that it runs. But rest assure, you didn't hurt anything bud. I do it from time to time. Thanks for watching. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
@@OnlineMechanicTips thanks for the reply. Been stressed about it all day. Hopefully i can get everything put together and have it back on the road. Thanks again.
I sure wish you were in my area my 2011 Dodge Journey just stopped running 2 days ago heck just grab your tools and come to Illinois
O noooooooo, sorry to hear that bud. Hope its something simple. lol, not even close to IL bud.
It would be cool to talk to you about my 3.6 Dodge Journey instead of tiping all the time you can catch me on messenger if you want and possibly do a video call
Excellent mechanic.
Thanks for watching my friend.
So spoke with you awhile back, yes im subscribed, trying to get my cam phaser back on, timing chain tool ( for whatever readon ) aint working, you suggested rotating the exhaust cam towards the intake which should work, but its not, chain slips off, im guessing i screwed up some how
Hey so what happened, did you have to remove the timing chain cover?
How did you fixed
Good on you man 100%on explained and work manship
Love you brother your the best ever save me thousands

Question from a new ‘23 Gladiator 3.6 owner. Has Jeep corrected this problem in later production or is it still an issue with the 3.6? I’ve noticed some other manufacturers use this same design and don’t seem to have the problem. Nice video sir!
Thanks and yes. All the Gladiators use the Gen 3 Pentstar engine. Most of the previous problems was found on the gen 1 and 2 Pentastar engines. Thanks for watching. Please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe the channel for me, thanks

GREAT VIDEO REALLY MADETHE JOB EASY
Thanks for watching MJ
Thank you from all 3.6 owners 🫡
Awesome video, thanks so much
Great job man, love your video, I am a tec also, keep up the great jobs.
Great video!
Your videos rock, because of your vids, I tackled this repair myself, all went well with the left side. replacing all 24 rockers. had trouble on the right side, I had the gear lock tool in place and when I broke loose the nut for the oil control valve, the tool popped out. After replacing all the exh. rockers had trouble getting slack in the chain., got the tool in place but there doesn't seem to be enough slack in the chain to get the exh.
gear to slip on the cam. My question is it possible to get the chain out of time on the crank with having a loose chain flopping around up top...... thanks for your help
Depends on if you did one head at a time. Was the other head connected when this happen? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
I did the same thing. The other head was on. What to do in this situation plz reply thanks jt I am subscribe.
Good video 25 year tech and this vid is made by a og tech you can tell
1 & 7/16 is the socket size you used for the Oil Control Valve in this video.
Yes or either a 36mm. Don't forget to thumbs up the video and subscribe if you not already. Thanks
I might be doing this soon. Can you include links to the special tools in you future videos please.
The first ones are the Rocker Arms/Lifters and the next is the tools used in this video.
I believe the Oil Control Valve Head socket size is 1 1/16.
You have a video on replacing the timing chain guide on a 2015 Jeep Patriot limited 2.0 ? . I am doing my daughter’s vehicle, thanks for shearing a great video
EXCELLENT VIDEO
This is my first time replacing a timing chain, on a 2015 malibu so i screwed up big time. i took the spark plugs out and turned the crankshaft a few times around trying to see if the marks lined up. I turned quite a number of revolutions out of stupidity. Then I took the chain off and turned the cam intake sprocket , (not loose from the rocker) around too thinking i could fix the timing by setting the mark at 10 o'clock, so it went freely. Then I tried to pull the exhaust pully also attatched to the the rocker arm. I was so stupid that i thought that rotating one at a time I could set them at 10 o'clock and 2 oclock, which is is the way they are supposed to be. Well, of course the exhaust I pulled with the chain, but when I took the chain off, it pulled right back. So now I know I have to losen the bolts to do it, but how do i start from scratch now? Help please. If you even understand the stupidity I did. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you you’re a god😊❤
Excellent video very informative
I should not be able to rock the camshaft independently of the phaser, correct? I suspect I have a bank one exhaust phaser that needs replacing because I can put a wrench on the cam and move the cam back and forth easily while the phaser stays solid. I also have a P0340 code, and I presume the variable valve timing has been trying to keep the cam in the right place just through oil pressure rather than a mechanical lock.
Your assumptions are correct my friend. I highly suggest replacing that phaser. In fact, because there is know suggested time interval for phaser replacement, I started suggesting they get replaced at around 100k or when ever you are making a valve train repair. Thanks for watching and being a subscriber.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Thanks, bud, parts are on the way!
Thanks for this. Was wondering about a service interval for replacement. I’m at 152,000 and just now beginning to have issues.
Great job, can you please tel me what size socket and the part number for the sprocket on the camshaft ( I tried to read the make and part number, I can’t
Are you talking about the oil control valve which doubles as the cam phaser bolt? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
I have done over 50 of these. Your a master! . I think too many miles on the oil, too much idling with worn oil, possibly wore oil pump?.
I change oil every 1k.
The problem is on that bank with cover on it will not pass i got the plastic tool you showed on this vid on that right bank
Why not try to move the crank by the cam? Before I saw your video I tried this. Could I have hurt something?
Why not hold the cam without the sprocket tool? That’s how I took the phasers off. Could I have hurt something doing this?
Do you add rtv back the section where the front cover meets the valve cover?
Because thats to much of a load on that chain which could jump if you using the cam to turn the crank. And yes, we use RTV to reseal the cover in the case you mentioned,
where you get the special tools used? gotta link ?
Super helpful, thanks.
Great video, thanks!
Just tore down a 19 3.6 with a #4 misfire. Pulled the valve cover and the intake cam lobe looked like I grinded the highest point with a bench grinder. P0304. I'm swapping both cams lifters and rockers. Why are so many of these camshafts getting ground down on?
do you reapply gasket sealant at the seam of timing cover when you reinstall the valve cover? just curious, seems like the valve cover gasket takes care of any leaks.
Yes I do
We all love pentastar engines, we love american, ha ha, ha ha. Excellent job!
Thanks for watching
I really appreciate this video! I was able to replace the rocker arms and lifters on my 2018 Pacifica. One question hopefully someone can answer. I did not do the rockers and lifters on the intake cams. My engine has the VVL on the intake side. The rockers are expensive! After I finished the exhaust cams and started it up. The tapping sounds is still there! I'm thinking about taking it back down and replacing just the lifters on the exhaust side. I'll inspect the rockers at the same time.
Any other ideas as to where the tapping noise is coming from? Hopefully just a bad lifter.
Hey JT...happy new year....do you have a video on how to do a valve cover gasket on a 2012 dodge charger 3.6...about to do mines .your videos have the best infor...
hi great video thank you. so where can i buy the tool for cylinder 1 for the tensioner is it metal i think all i see is plastic.
Tool for cyl 1??? What do you mean by tool for cyl 1? Are you talking about the bank 1 rear or right side cyl head? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
hi i just like and subscribe yea the tool you use to loose tension on the chain for bank one head t when can i actually buy it that is metal not plastic. please if you can point me in the direction.@@OnlineMechanicTips

Love your work , the vids are great , about to do a head replacement so really informative - thanks - question , are you able to add a list of the part no of the gaskets required to do a head replacement for left and right heads … the mopar parts catalogues are pretty confusing with so many updates and superseded part numbers - I want to have all parts ready to go before I start the disassembly- appreciate an6 assistance your could provide - thanks again for your awesome vids
Hey great video, I have a problem and hoping u have a answer. I removed cam after marking my chain and cam phasers at top dead center. I also put a cam phaser lock block inbetween the gears. But prior to all that, I was changing just the rockers and lifters on bank 1 side the intake because i found immediately the bad rocker. So i competed intake side and moved to exhause side and realized i couldnt remove the lifters because they were closer to cam than the intake side. So i ended up getting the block in place and painted chain and cam phazer while i was at tdc. I slid the cam phazer back just alittle with block still in place and removed cam and replaced all lifters on exhaust side and rockers and slid cam back in and lined cam phazer back up and slid it on. Tighten it all back up and removed block and turned crank and i hear a noise a couple of times as i turn crank. Now before i did intake side i was turning crank alittle forward and alittle backwards to get the lobes in the right spot to get rockers and lifters out. My question is, what might the noise be that im hearing while i turn the crank?
can you do a video on the cam tone wheel check tool!
Hello. Please help is needed I’m not a mechanic just doing my minivan. I did bank 2 as per your instructions on another video( thank YOU) . Now I’m doing bank 1 but I have small problem removing the valve cover. There is only one bolt left at the right upper corner . I’m not sure if it’s a bolt or not but its preventing me from removing the cover. Please note I removed all the 12 bolts except this one.
Hey bud, you have to maneuver the cover in a way to clear the PCV valve..first remove valve then turn cover as in ways to clear for removal
What is the part number on the two aluminum timing chain tensioner tools? Its's not visible in the video.
What years are affected by this problem? Are the 2021 and newer Pentastar engines still suffering from this?
No
I have a 2010 Buick Enclave with 3.6L. It's slightly different from the Chrysler 3.6L. Is the process the same and could I use the same tools you're using? I can't find the tools for GM. Only one is the en-48313 and it's $169. That's not what I want. I will use this 1 time only.
OK loving it .. I have the plastic set and don't like them much - where did you get the Aluminum ones?
That is a Miller dealer tool
Fantastic info thanks JT
thanks for watching

GOT it... you rock!
Just bought a 2014 grand caravan 3.6. Was throwing a code P0305 when I bought it. Thought I would get lucky with new plug and coil. No luck. Still throwing the same code. Make a clunking noise. Thought it was just one of the pulleys but local mechanic said no. Pulled the valve cover off of the back and cam lobes all look good. Van runs, just throwing same code and clunking noise. Any advice on how to proceed. Your videos are some of the best I've seen. The cut away really helps. Thanks for taking the time to make these awesome videos.
Just watched your other video. I'll do the "field test" tomorrow. Praying its something up top. Thanks again for the awesome videos.
Hey bud, its past time for a compression test. You have to find out if cyl 5 able to perform as design
@@OnlineMechanicTips Rocker arms look fine and no apparent scoring marks on the cam. Is next step removing the head?
@@pedaldork My friend. You should need a reason to remove the cyl head. This is not a easy job. Verify that the head should have to be removed. Run a compression test, If that cyl low, then yes, theres your need to remove the head. If compression at specs then you should keep looking. Have the cat been replaced on bank 1? Are you sure the injector not causing the misfire, you could easily swap/move over an injector to see if misfire follows.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Would a bad injector cause such a loud knocking noise? (originally was hoping it was a bad pulley). Will do a compression test in the morning. If fails compression, then I'll take it to a garage as anything beyond the valves is beyond my paygrade. Thanks for your help.
Very helpful thank you
Brother chain won't give me room even when I am using the special tool any suggestions?
I have a question, I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with the 3.6 , 43000 miles, upon the last oil change the filter has shiny specks in the filter. No metal specks in the pan. No tick or knocking noise. Is this the beginning of rockers failing? Or ? Always use full synthetic oil.
If you pull your valve cover, you will likely see this specks stuck on the magnetic tone wheel. Not reasons to be extremely alarmed tho,
@@OnlineMechanicTips am I better to replace all the rockers, both sides intake and exhaust?
@@froggerman44 Yes, I would
@@OnlineMechanicTips have not looked into parts yet, but what would the cost run me about?
On a 2017 Journey 3.6 do you need to remove the wiper plastic housing in order to install tensioner tool on bank one?
how u get the tension off the chain on passenger side ?!?!?
Thats what that tool job is for. Are you using the tool? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
