Had to do this job on wife's Wrangler earlier this year. Those things start ticking, take care of it and you probably won't need new cams. But keep driving it and this is how bad it gets.
Mine with a similar cam and rocker setup had ok cams. But numerous rockers were losing needle rollers. I really believe they should have slipper pads like they use on Japanese bike engines.
Stellantis is true to Chrysler's roots... Keep building those failure prone engines by hundreds of thousands and band-aid them just long enough to get them out of warranty or void the warranty all together citing lack of maintenance.
Hey Mike, love the videos! Wondering if there is a top end kit that’s for sale to do the cams, rockers and lifters or do you buy each piece from your parts guy?
I hope that thing had a hell of a good oil filter on it. Seems like all of that worn metal bits could have caused damage throughout the rest of the Engine.
Must be the dreaded 3.6L V-6 Pentastar tick…. Same thing to my 2015 JGK. Wasted one exhaust cam. New cam & rockers and runs like a sewing machine again.
What is up with Cam and lifter issues in these modern cars? Hyundai has cam phaser issues Chevy has lifter issues don't even get me started on Ram. But you can fire up a 1970s truck that has been sitting in a field for 40 years with just an oil change and fresh gas.
So you charge the customer A couple grand to replace the cam and lifters and rockers. Meanwhile, the lower end of that engine is trashed out with metal so within a year or so it just blows up, but it's OK because you got your money, For those cams and Lifters
I'm fixing a 2012 Chrysler 200 3.6L with the same issue, ticking rockers. I'm also doing the timing chain at the same time. How can I remove the cams without having to unbolt the Phasers?

Trouble is...all that ground up cam and lifter metal remains in the engine...and has already compromised all the main and rod bearings.
@@rogerhenry3481 your the only comment on here that hit it right on the head !
So the oil filter won't stop the metal?
@@george2113some but definitely not all

How do you go about shedding all the metallic remnants from the engine? Early lof svc?
Moral of this is stay away from the 3.6 penastar
@@blackdragon46819 They are actually a fairly decent motor.
@jamesmatthews4840 that's a matter of opinion...I have seen enough from them that I would never own one .. they do help pay the bills tho!!
Change the oil often enough?
Bingo...keep oil fresh and use factory filters

Amazing job as usual!!
This dude knows what's up. This is real repair technique

Don't forget cam and phaser issues with FORD too
I must say there is no way I want your job you're a genius and I am a rookie.
That's one toasted cam
You rock man keep it up
I've done so many I've made cam wind chimes.
Where did all that metal go?????
Keep posting !!!!
Good job Mike! What's causing this? Is it lack of oil delivery or the metallurgy in the parts?
How many miles were on this one? 2014.
Pointless needs a whole rebuild
What about those lobe remnants still floating around in the rest of the motor?
How long do you think the bottom end will hold now that all that glitter has been through the bearings.
Gotta be an expensive bill on parts plus labor trust you got paid up-front.
That's called not changing your oil.
Is this an issue caused by lack of oil changes or is clean oil irrelevant in this case?
I get it why you can't franchise. Only one like you Mike! Fkn Rockstar!
Hey Mike. Mike here, you guys need an European wannabe likeMike

What is the total actual cost of having thos done?
Just curious, why do you soak the lifters in oil?
Great content. Nails should be cut down to avoid dirt/grease from getting under them.
@@paulfasse8032 that was weird
I agree that was weird.
Yesser
If you ever need any town and country parts hit up auto parts city he might have a couple.
Change your oil folks.

@@edwicks66 SLOPAR!
Brother, just put a Sienna V6 engine in there. Problems solved for the next 30years
Why change your oil when you can rebuild your engine instead
Looks like a lubrication problem to me

Have not seen one of your videos in months. You put on a little weight brother lol
Needs a total rebuild with the metal in engine
Real morale is stay away from Chrysler period
Probably 4lt
You’re only as good as your weakest part
That’s an expensive job. 12-14 hours just in labor. That thing must have had a nice tick to it
The metal injestesed into the oiling system is always the 50/50 roll here
tick tick tick tick
