  • Hey guys! welcome back. In today's video we have a 2015 Jeep wrangler with a 3.6L that came in for an Engine tick. This repair applies to all Chrysler and Jeep models equipped with the 3.6L V6 Engine. This video is a short cut version to the repair of that engine. actual repair time is about 20h, in this video I will show you a short cut that will shave 8-10h off of that job. I will also be posting the longer version of that repair in another video and you decide which video you want to use. Make sure you check out the links below for helpful detailed videos of the assembling and disassembling of Parts that was fast forwarded in this video.

    I actually did this to my jeep. Didnt even take the cam bearings out. Just loosened them rolled the crank till the lobe was up on each rocker and pulled the lifters and rockers out individually. Dealership guys will tell you it cant be done this way. But it can. Just have to be careful. My jeep has 40k on it afyer i did it. Been running great. No more engine ticks! Love me some jeeps! Awesome vid!

      putting it on top dead center makes it easier. No pressure on the rockers by the cams. There should be an arrow on each cam shaft on the timing chain gear that will point to each other.

    Just finished doing the job today! This video was immensely helpful. I was able to create an even shorter shortcut by leaving the cam caps on but fully loose on the bolts and prying accordingly (based on which cam lobe was up or down). Regardless I wouldn't have even tackled this job without this video. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you to the author!

Engine purred like a kitten until about a month ago and I started noticing the ticking sound (around 63k miles). I've never bought an extended warranty in my life until I bought this Jeep. Thank god I did, gonna be taking it back to the dealership soon and hopefully get it fixed under warranty.

      @@chazzcapone. any ticking or knocking noise coming from inside the engine is not a good thing. It’s a sign of wear. Internal engine components are so precise, minimum tolerance and very very small amount of clearance. That noise usually means those very small gaps are getting bigger and that’s very bad. In this case the rocker arms bearing failed and the camshaft rollers are hitting the rocker arm itself and that could cause a massive internal engine damage. I hope that was helpful. Thank you.

    Did this job yesterday on a '15 GC driver's side. Much easier if you roll engine to a little before top dead center, for driver's side, for a more neutral cam position. Keep the magnet away from the rear of the cam, it will destroy the magnetism of the cam position rotors.

For anyone who is about to do this the first time, go easy with the magnet near the back of the cams where the tone wheels are and buy decent parts, I did have to redo a set that were bought from Amazon because the rockers were made out of spec and kept valves open losing all compression.

      Hi, this video is being super helpful. I'm half way done with the arm rocker replacement work. However, by mistake I broke the black plastic line the mechanic is holding @15:52 when trying to place back the top cover. The black line broke just before the yellow marking you see on the video (close to the aluminum connector). Can the line be fixed since it's plastic? Is it difficult to replace the line in question? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

    I used a modified version of this method - Used the cam lock tool / de-tensioning set to de-tension the timing chain. I only locked the cams in place briefly to loosen one end bolt and remove it to inspect it more closely. Overall - This saved a ton of time and I did notice that if you are only doing rockers - there is a "magic spot" in the cam rotation where you can get every single of one of them out without any issue and without moving the cams out of the bearing journals. Unfortunately - I cannot say that for the lifters - you just need a teeny tiny little bit of extra clearance to get them all out - just like in the video. 😁
    My screwed up rocker locations - ( I did them all and all the lifters - 81K miles )
    Passenger exhaust cam rear - Rear 2 rockers were the worst
    Passenger intake cam - Next to last rocker
    Driver Intake and exhaust were mostly ok - one rocker had slightly more wear than all the others - I lost track of where it came from.

    • @JrSpitty
      @JrSpitty ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They have a tool for holding the phasers and releasing the tension on the chain. Removing the chain or phasers completely is never required. Its always a gamble to do it that way as those cam cap bolt holes will strip out and pull all the threads out very easily. Then you end up replacing the head which is a bigger job all together. It takes at most 2 hours with the tools the right way.

    Another option is to take the vehicle to trade in before the CEL comes in along with the P0302 code. The result for a non mechanic was Cylinder Head replacement at dealer under the warranty. Service write guy said it would have cost $3,000.
    Having owned other Chrysler minivans I bought the extended warranty when new.
    Believe it or not! Yesterday I got the minivan back from the service department after another CEL. Code P0306. Another $3000 cylinder head replacement. Covered by Lifetime Maximum Warranty which Chrysler no longer sells. My 2014 T&C has $10,000 in warranty work since new.

    DId the same job on our 2015 which at 80,000 started ticking. Driver's side was the first which I fixed (easier despite removing the upper intake), then the passenger side was ticking. I didn't remove the battery tray and now that I see that you did, i should have for all the wrestling I had to do with the valve cover. My next job will be replacing a leaking oil cooler which doesn't look to daunting. All in all, it seems like a decent engine, with some minor design flaws. The updated rocker followers are totally different on the later models.

    On the one hand - this is clever and creative. On the other hand...
    The manufacturer probably knew this was possible but didn't prescribe this as the way to correct the issue. You can argue that ends justify the means, but again I really have to wonder if the manufacturer agrees. That's important to a lot of people because frankly, they should know what they're doing. It may be that their process errs on the side of the 'average' wrench approaching the problem vs. someone who's being careful. That said - you're one slip from gouging a lobe, and you're prying against a sealing surface.
    The additional break-down may also reveal additional problems that they'd like to avoid.
    Finally, from a warranty perspective or customer spend perspective - what got paid for the job? The full pop time it takes, or the time suited to the reduced number of steps? I'm not saying don't pay techs for skill - but this isn't purely skill - it IS deviation from the procedure - he says it right in the video. Don't hate - I'm not judging- I'm just asking.

    This procedure worked for me to eliminate the tick from a bad rocker on the left bank of my 2014 Wrangler. Problem is now my Wrangler is in limp mode with code P0394. I replaced the left bank camshaft position sensor, but that did not correct the problem. I checked for 5VDC and ground on the related connector and all looked good. I am concerned the I de-magnetized the camshaft tone wheel when lifting out lifters and rocker arms with a magnet. Any suggestions how to fix this?

    • @ChrisRossman11

      Figured it out. It was the camshaft position sensors. I replaced the camshafts and the P0349 went away and it runs normally now instead of in limp mode. I guess I wiped the position sensors out with my magnetic tool. I diagnosed it using a ferrocell film as shown here: th-cam.com/video/MxBMrBqEmgU/w-d-xo.html

    A competent mechanic can do this in less then 6 hours but for most it'll take longer. Also don't have to drain coolant or unhook the hoses or fuel rail or even the injectors. The battery tray is a pain though and so is the pcv valve (at least on a right hand drive jeep due to the trans dipstick in the way) but either way, it's way cheaper then the stealership.

    Set the front cam lobe to just before the cam opens the valve. Remove the cam caps then turn the cam so it is fully opening the front valves. This will raise the rear of the cam enough to get the rockers and tappets out. Then turn until the front lobes are up. Pry up on the front of the cam and the front rockers will come out.
