- Jeep Liberty KJ 3.7 Head gaskets and Timing chain. The overhead cam makes it a little more difficult but still doable. A long grueling repair. Big thanks to my friends at @410machine4 They rebuilt the heads twice, got it done quick and affordable.
Well at least you made yourself an expert
I’m not sure I’m an expert but I can usually not make things worse than when I started. lol.
Watched it with CC but watching again tomorrow before taking the plunge!
How did it go?
@@TurlosGarage I actually bought another project and left this one but we were talking about it at home and decided this weekend i would start the Jeep project. I will repost though.
Always a good idea to rotate the crank by hand to double-check the timing marks line up.
I definitely to that every time
Way to go! Can be a scary job. Just pay attention and can be done. Do your research. Thank you for your vid!!!!
Definitely replace the timing chains ect. I recommend doing the timing chain every 125-150k miles. I've seen many motors destroy themselves. It's pretty easy on this truck
Probably a good rule of thumb to replace timing chains and tensioners. I rolled the dice with mine and made it to 200,000. In my opinion it wasn’t worth the risk.
Man, good you like fixing things! Woukd not want those young ladies missing any of the excitement!
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT brother
Thanks Tim. I appreciate your view.
Man Nice work Brotha!!! Man you really made that look easy Brotha!
It was a struggle. I was under a lot of pressure between work and being down two cars. That’s why there wasn’t as many jokes. Thanks for your kind words.
Hey got a question for you did you have white smoke coming out of exhaust prior to this issue? And how bad did it overheat? Mine got about 3/4 the way up turned off and turned heat full blast let it cool down. Im going to tackle the head gaskets prob this weekend. Worried it going to be a pain in the ass
It never blew a lot of white smoke. It was a small amount. How did it go changing your head gaskets?
@@TurlosGarage never did it, found out it isn't antifreeze it's oil is burning. So that makes me believe that it's a piston ring, looking into alternative engine swaps now, would really like to drop a om606 turbo diesel down in it. Don't need electronics for the motor if you get one with mechanical injection pump. Can't go wrong with mechanical pump. Cause a 3.7 at junkyard around here is like 12-1500 bucks I can't pay that
You didn't end up with extra bolts, did you!
No extra bolts this time. lol
BOOM BABY! Watching Now!
Boom Baby!
Looking good.
Hey that ORiellys oil is good stuff! @27:29
I am so behind on responding to comments. Have a great weekend
WoW Turlo This seems like it was a Nightmare while you were Wide Awake 👾🥴😵💫this had to be a Pain in your A$$
Every video I have watched doesn't show how to remove the exhaust manifold or how it is easier to remove the exhaust clamp at the manifold.for head removal. I know where all the head bolts are and which way to turn the wrench with the obvious removal items. Just sayin'.
The second time I loosened the clamp and unbolted the manifold and left them in. The first time I did the heads I removed them and it was a massive pain. I had to unbolt the steering column. Half the time on the entire job was dealing with the exhaust manifolds so I found out you can remove the heads without removing the manifolds. It is a bit of a challenge to get the exhaust manifolds bolted back on with the exhaust system attached but still easier than snaking the manifold back in upon reassembly.
Great vid!! Music is a little distracting.. but great vid!
Gasket trick is nice ! Glad you got the Jeep going Sir !
That was along few months trying to get this fixed and waiting on parts and getting the head’s redone twice. The gasket trick was a huge help though. Trying to hold the gasket and manifold and tighten the bolt is a nightmare. Rock on Twobabe!
